NONVIOLENCE,
SOCIAL JUSTICE &
VISIONARY ACTIVISM: Reclaiming Our Humanity
May 18 at Echo Valley Farm
The
whole is greater than the sum of its parts. - Aristotle
What if activism grew from our humanity, rather than ideology? What if
we could see beyond “us and them”? What if there is no 99%, only 100%?
If you agree that it is time to recreate new possibilities of
community, of food production, health care, education and all things
human, let’s talk.
Let’s stop and consider waging peace.
Everyone interested in nonviolent change is welcome.
Let this be a time to recharge, refocus and reconsider peace.
You are welcome to the circle to listen and to speak. It is our time.
