Beyond Us & Them’s executive director Jared Seide spoke with our friends at Code Pink, a feminist grassroots organization working to end U.S. warfare and imperialism.
In the interview, Jared Seide defines the “Local Peace Economy” as a community-focused system that promotes sustainability, equality, and connection to combat systemic imbalances in resources and access. He emphasizes the necessity of recognizing our deep interconnections and the destructive nature of seeing others as “other.” Seide discusses the transformative role of Council practices in fostering community and empathy, aiming to shift societal norms towards cooperation and peace. He also highlights the need for introspection and community engagement to address internal and communal conflicts.
