The Peace & Justice Center is exploring the idea of forming a Peace Team to serve the Burlington Area as a force the community can called upon. The idea is that this collective may help de-escalate conflict for people with immediate need, walk around the city at night and/or during times where visible and direct violence is likely to occur, and help prevent violence by offering community members tools to de-escalate conflict and utilize active nonviolence in their day-to-day lives. The focus group will be led by Marina Kisyova, a Community Solutions Fellow with the Peace & Justice Center this Fall working on the Peace Team project. Please register.
