When our neighbors are threatened and hurt by those in power, protests and vigils are essential ways to prophetically demand justice and care. But if those demands are ignored, what else can we do?
In this workshop, we will explore the nonviolent tactics beyond protests and mass demonstrations, the strategies we can use speak truth to power, stop cooperating with those causing harm, and intervene to disrupt the injustice. From sit-ins and boycotts to not answering the door and misfiling paperwork, there are countless ways that people can work together to resist oppression.
Join us for an interactive session of experiential learning, teaching and discussion, application, and resources to practice strategic nonviolence in your own community.
*This event is part of our monthly Taste of Peace series, where we offer introductory-level conversations about all things peacebuilding and explore something new every month. We hope you’ll join us for this event and other upcoming Taste of Peace events!
