Politics and Peace.
In the midst of today’s violent political rhetoric, the weight of oppressive systems crushing those on the margins, and family holiday’s becoming more complex to navigate, it’s hard to imagine how politics and peace have any connection.
We think they do, so much so that we are committing an entire podcast season to it.
As we enter the midterm elections, we’re thrilled to announce that the next season of the Everyday Peacemaking podcast will focus entirely on Peace and Politics, exploring how we become Everyday Peacemakers in and outside of the voting booth.
Friends, politics doesn’t have to be such a scary word. It can simply be defined as the “ordering of society.”
Every society has to make decisions about how we order ourselves.
Everything is political, so we’re going to talk about it.
This season, we are going to have the conversations that equip us to leverage our votes for the benefit of those on the underside of our broken systems. We are also going to have the conversations that free us up to have hard and healing conversations with family and friends who might think differently than we do.
Co-hosted by writer, speaker and peacemaker Osheta Moore, and our co-founding director, Jon Huckins, this season will be filled with dynamic interviews (with amazing guests each week!) and tangible practices that help us mend divides this election season.
We’ve just released a 2-minute trailer for the upcoming season. Listen now for a taste of what’s to come, and be sure to subscribe so you’ll be notified when the first full episodes drop in September!
