Friends - Please spread the word about this
very engaging speaker and expert on Nonviolent strategies in social
movements and a discussion about how they apply to the work of
organizing for peace and justice in the East Bay.
It includes reflections on the work of ICWJ and OCO, but think you might
be interested in this ongoing dialogue around nonviolent strategies that
has been such a persistent theme at the Interfaith Tent at
Oakland.
peace,
Kristi
