The Hidden Link Between Childhood Violence & Global Conflict — Peace Begins at Home Summit Discover how early experiences of violence shape global systems of power—and how shifting from domination to partnership can break the cycle.

When we talk about peace, we often picture political negotiations, military ceasefires, and international treaties. But research shows that the first place we learn about power, care, and conflict is in the home.

We’re proud to welcome Chaïmae Ribani, an intersectional feminist and peace activist whose work challenges traditional security paradigms and reimagines them through the lens of equity and justice. The Peace Begins at Home Summit. www.peacebeginsathomesummit.org/register

Report: Child Care Is a Hidden Engine of the US Economy Access to affordable, reliable child care remains elusive for millions of Americans. In fact, the average annual cost of care hit $11,582 in 2023—more than the annual tuition of public colleges in…

Exclusive: VA rescinds weeks of parental leave — even for some giving birth this week Last week, the VA was the first federal agency to terminate a union contract.
