Featured Project
Peace Practice – neighborhood level peace making groups where individuals, neighborhoods,
organizations, and law enforcement can refer people and conflicts directly to neighborhood-level
solutions. Current Peace Practice locations including Occupy Tiny House Village on Aberg Ave (2 years)
and the East Side Men's Shelter (4 months). We're seeking to add more Peace Practice locations in
places with need, such as permitted encampments and shelters, and interested organizations and
workplaces. Reach out if you are interested in joining your neighborhood Peace Practice or creating
one for your neighborhood.
Featured Principle
Common Shared Resources - These can include shared meeting spaces, tool and expertise libraries,
exchange platforms, and vehicles for cooperative ownership of the things we need, but don't use
often or can't afford alone.
Our local home base is in Madison's Social Justice Center, which itself hosts free food, a community
pantry for food, books, and other items, and a shared stock of supplies for community events (tables,
chairs, dishes, sound system) - plus an art gallery maintained by founding Madison MAN members
608 Arts.
