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.
