Helping build a future for the next generation of peace people … It’s for all of us
Greetings Peace People out there
To build a future, Omni suggests that Fayetteville build a timebank. In fact it’s already under construction. It’s a good vehicle for creating connection and cohesion, and helping communities get themselves through hard times.
This is Fayetteville. Connected and cohesive is what we want to be, because
we’re all in this together. We have history to build on that will let us do that
when other communities find it a far stretch. One lesson of covid might be that we’ve been shown where healing needs to happen, so we can go there to heal.
Here lies the work of peace.

Timebanking: An Idea Whose Time Has Come – Yes Magazine 2011
About the time of the Occupy Movement, and during the post-2008 economic crash time-banks got some good press. Cooperative currencies like time dollars are especially helpful during hard economic times. Thankfully, the economy is strong now, but no one expects that to last forever.
