Ever wonder how nonviolence can be a strategy to enact change? We’re excited to explore this question with you at our Strategic Nonviolence Intensive during Campaign Nonviolence Action Week. Join Samantha and Bekky for a four-hour introductory workshop on the tenets of strategic nonviolence, nonviolent communication, de-escalation, bystander intervention, and more.

“Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people,” is the first principle in Martin Luther King Jr.’s Six Principles of Nonviolence. We’re excited to continue creating space for authentic engagement in nonviolent practices both in advocacy and within our personal lives. Be a spark for justice and join Ignite Peace in creating a nonviolent society.

Artist Susan Ribnick brought together 36 mosaic artists from around the world to create works that react and respond to the Tree of Life Congregation shooting in Pittsburgh, PA on October 27, 2018. Eleven people were killed and six were wounded in the white supremacist terrorist mass shooting, the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States. The 36 mosaics in the exhibition evoke themes ranging from antisemitism and injustice to hope, resilience, and peace.
