Peace & Justice Conversations: "A History of Nonviolence"

As this challenging year closes, let's step back and look at the long history of nonviolent resistance to repression. We are not alone and we are not powerless. Learning and remembering the stories of those who have struggled before us can help us feel connected and inspired. We will watch a 20 minute video, "Gandhi, King & Beyond: Nonviolent History," created by Pace e Bene and Rivera Sun. We'll then have discussion, both in a large group and using breakout rooms.

In the video, we will learn about the first documented strike in 1170 BCE, India's nonviolent army and hear about dozens of other examples bringing us up to more recent times. The developing theory of nonviolence is also discussed.

Join Amy and NHPA members and friends for an unrecorded conversation where we can share our experiences and ideas and support each other.
