November 21, 7 pm: Peace & Justice Conversations: Disconnecting Work and War

November 21, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Peter Kellman joined us previously for a discussion of how labor and peace movements relate to one another. Tonight we will take a larger view to look at the place of jobs and work in our society, our movement and our lives.  There has often been tension between the Peace movement and the Labor movement in the US since so many “good” jobs are within the military-industrial system. How can we change our society so that people can choose real, meaningful work that adds true value to our communities and our world? How did we end up in this position of accepting any job to survive instead of finding ways to make a living and a life, and provide for ourselves in ways we can feel good about? Can we meet more of our needs ourselves in our own localities, bringing dignity, pride and sustainability to what we do in the world?

Peter Kellman has been a front-line participant in US labor and social movements, from the 1960s up to the present day. He is currently part of the New Agriculture movement in Maine, with experience as a civil rights worker, anti-war demonstrator, environmental and anti-nuclear activist, union organizer, and labor historian and researcher. He and his wife are now trying to grow all their nutritional and caloric needs using primarily human labor – using some of the skills he learned when he worked for Helen and Scott Nearing in 1964.

About NHPA’s bi-weekly Zoom Peace & Justice Conversation Series: 2020’s upheavals brought us to a new moment of reckoning and possibility. How do we want to live in the world? What do we value? How can we make the changes we’ve been yearning for? NH Peace Action has been engaged in working for change for decades. We’d like to bring you into these conversations about issues and options for the future.  There is no charge to attend, but your contributions in any amount are greatly appreciated.

RSVP HERE.
