Nonviolent Activism-Feb 25 from 5:30-7:30pm @ O'brien Community Center

Nonviolence has been proven to be incredibly effective in addressing oppression even though our culture may not embrace or encourage this truth. Nonviolent activists employ a wide variety of strategies, such as rallies, marches, hunger strikes, boycotts, and much more. While many people participate in these actions they may not have explored all the work that leads up to them. This program focuses on the strategy of building a nonviolent movement. Participants will explore how they are affected by various systems of oppression to help unlock meaningful ways to work towards social justice and peace while being aware of the need to disrupt the cycles of violence that permeate throughout our culture. It is best suited for high school students and older. We encourage folks who are able to financially support this work to do so and also no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All of the Peace & Justice Center's educational programming is free for participants 24 years old and younger.
