 In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, host Marcy Winograd talks to former State Department diplomat Ann Wright on challenging Israel's settler colonialism with an emergency flotilla to break the siege on Gaza. Nour, CODEPINK's Palestine campaigner, unpacks her paper, "Israeli Greenwashing: The Myth of Environmentalism in a Settler Colonial State," and author and community organizer Eric Mannshares lessons from the 60s in building a powerful anti war movement.

Tune in this week to learn all about the local peace economy - what is it, and why does it matter? We'll hear from CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans about why she started integrating local peace economy work into her anti-war activism and how you can begin to grow the local peace economy in your community. We'll also hear from presenters and attendees at the recent Bioneers conference in Berkeley, CA about how the local peace economy is alive in their lives right now. How do we grow the seeds of peace in our community? Join us to find out.

In the first half of this episode, CODEPINK Congress co-hosts Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin speak with Norman Solomon, author of the book: War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of its Military Machine. Solomon offers suggestions on cultivating relationships with editors, writing OpEds and framing persuasive arguments to break through the propaganda that manufactures consent for endless war. On the second half of the program, Marcy interviews Brian Mier, Telesur English correspondent in Brazil, on the threat of fascism in Brazil and beyond as social media exacerbates global polarization. Also featured is Naledi Pandor, South Africa's Minister of International Relations, on a visit to the US to stave off congressional attacks in the wake of South Africa's World Court case against Israel's genocide in Gaza.
