THE CAMPAIGN NONVIOLENCE NATIONAL CONFERENCE: EMBRACING THE NONVIOLENT SHIFT. Marking the 75 Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “In this time of great transition ushered in by a worldwide crisis, nonviolence offers us what we need right now: a vision, strategies, and practices that will equip us to live and lead in the direction of personal and societal transformation. At this conference, you will experience the wisdom of nonviolence visionaries, scholars and practitioners who will share their expertise from a wide variety of fields. They will offer concrete pathways to build the transformed world our hearts long for, a world free from the violence of racism, poverty, war and the environmental crisis.” Some of the speakers are Rev. Richard Rohr, The Center for Action and Contemplation: Dr. Erica Chenoweth, Harvard University; Dr. Ira Helfand, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons; and Rev. John Dear, Pace e Bene.
