When we overcome the neofascist threat in our midst it will not just be because of things we do, it will also be because of who we have become. “We need a quantitative shift in our circumstances as well as a qualitative change in our souls.” - MLK Jr.

51% of all jobs in US at least indirectly related to the defense industry; why called a war economy. But those jobs could be transitioned to peaceful purposes - a just transition to a peace economy. The ROI on peaceful investments like health and education is actually greater.
