Peace Economy Project

Today is the International Day of UN Peacekeepers; and this year’s theme couldn’t be more fitting: Invest in Peace.🕊️✌️💙

Real peace isn’t built with weapons. It’s built by the civilians, police officers, and military personnel who serve under the UN flag in some of the world’s most fragile places — protecting civilians, monitoring ceasefires, enabling aid, and supporting political solutions.

We believe in a world where we invest in peace before crisis, not just after. That means funding diplomacy, community infrastructure, and international cooperation, not just weapons systems.

Here's the latest story from the Lead Writer of the Peace Economy Project.

Our Post-Heroic World This story charts a course for our post-heroic world and the current Cold War.

Missouri’s Supreme Court upheld a gerrymandered map drawn specifically to flip a Democratic congressional seat — at Trump’s request. Congress controls a $900B+ military budget. Who holds those seats matters enormously. The good news: 300,000 Missourians signed to put this to a referendum in November. Democracy and the peace economy are the same fight.

PEP has been tracking military spending, fighting for community investment, and amplifying the voices that never make it into the defense budget, all on a shoestring.
