What does joining your local food co-op have to do with ending war? Join us this week on CODEPINK Radio to find out! We’re not going to end war until we end the war economy. We’re not going to see peace until we ourselves are cultivating it within ourselves and our communities. Co-ops are seeding peace in communities across the U.S. as they bring a shared ownership model to food stores, child care, housing, and more.
In this episode, we talk with Kate "Sassy" Sassoon, who has deep roots in both anti-war and co-op organizing, for this webinar. She shares from her years of experience working with co-ops and illuminates how local peace economy organizing can strengthen our anti-war activism.

On this episode we dive deep into the truths of global politics and power structures. From the complicity of the U.S. in the genocide of Palestinians to the deep-rooted connections between white supremacy and art, this episode is a powerful reflection on history and current events. Join Sergei and our guest, art historian Katherine Ruckle, as we explore how centuries of colonialism, racism, and war continue to shape our world.

Katherine (she/her/hers) is a first generation college student who received her B.F.A in Art History in 2017 and her M.A. in Art History in 2019. Her in-progress dissertation on Salvator Rosa seeks to shed light on the novel ways in which the 17th century painter asserted his Neapolitan identity to create professional opportunities and inventive subject matter. This work considers the political circumstances of 17th century Italy in which Naples was colonized by the Spanish, raising crucial questions about how regionalism may have played a role in Rosa's fortunes as he navigated court and academic culture in Florence. Her paper "St. Wilgefortis: Considering Modern and Medieval Hirsute Audiences" received first prize for an Outstanding Paper by a Graduate Student at the Robyn Rafferty Student Research Conference and was distinguished with the Honorable Mention for the Garrard-Broude Prize for Feminist Art History. She has also been named an Edward Giuliano Global Fellow, supporting her research in Naples for her current project. In addition to writing, she is passionate about Art Education and has interned with Manifest Gallery, an educational outreach and gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio; with the Education Department for the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.; and for the Education Department at the Walters Museum in Baltimore, MD.
