Co-operation can bridge the biggest divides.

That's why our movement has launched our Peace & Co-operation campaign to support co-ops in peacebuilding.

As @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social says, co-ops boost local economies with sustainable development, building a path toward long term peace.

- reduce housing and supports
- turn low-income housing into high-income housing
- use human lives as a negotiating tool
