SUMMARY:World BEYOND War's Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join World BEYOND War for our 3rd annual virtual film festival! \nThis year’s “Celebrating Stories of Nonviolence” virtual film festival from March 11-25\, 2023 explores the power of nonviolent action. A unique mix of films explores this theme\, from Gandhi’s Salt March\, to ending war in Liberia\, to civil discourse and healing in Montana. Each week\, we’ll host a live Zoom discussion with key representatives from the films and special guests to answer your questions and explore the topics addressed in the films. Scroll down to learn more about each film and our special guests\, and to purchase tickets! \nHow It Works: \n\n  1 ticket gets you access to all 3 films & panel discussions.\n  1 week before each panel discussion\, you will get the screening link to watch the film on your own time leading up to the live discussion.\n  Then join us live on Zoom each Saturday in March from the 11th-25th to talk with key representatives from the films and special guests! The panel discussions will also be recorded if you can’t join us live.\n\nLearn More at World Beyond War’s Film Festival page. \nDay 1: Discussion of “A Force More Powerful” \nA Force More Powerful is a documentary series on one of the 20th century’s most important and least-known stories: how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule. It includes case studies of movements\, and each case is approximately 30 minutes long. We’ll watch Episode 1\, which contains 3 case studies: \n\nIn India in the 1930s\, after Gandhi had returned from South Africa\, he and his followers adopted a strategy of refusing to cooperate with British rule. Through civil disobedience and boycotts\, they successfully loosened their oppressors’ grip on power and set India on the path to freedom.\nIn the 1960s\, Gandhi’s nonviolent weapons were taken up by black college students in Nashville\, Tennessee. Disciplined and strictly nonviolent\, they successfully desegregated Nashville’s downtown lunch counters in five months\, becoming a model for the entire civil rights movement.\nIn 1985\, a young South African named Mkhuseli Jack led a movement against the legalized discrimination known as apartheid. Their campaign of nonviolent mass action\, and a powerful consumer boycott in the Eastern Cape province\, awakened whites to black grievances and fatally weakened business support for apartheid.

SUMMARY:Storytelling & Strategy with George Lakey March 7
DESCRIPTION:Join Peace House and Ashland’s Peace Church (UCC) March 7 in welcoming George Lakey to Ashland. George is a veteran nonviolent activist\, trainer\, and author. He will be reading and sharing stories from his new book\, “Dancing with History: a life for peace and justice.” George will be speaking at 2 p.m. at Peace House and at 7 p.m. at UCC (717 Siskiyou Blvd.) in Ashland. \nGeorge Lakey’s first arrest was for a sit-in during a civil rights campaign in 1963\, while he was studying at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously he’d been active in demonstrations with the Congress of Racial Equality. With Martin Oppenheimer he wrote A Manual for Direct Action (1964) for the civil rights movement. The daughter of Martin Luther King\, Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King\, later described that book as “literally a lifesaver for many during the height of the struggle for black freedom and dignity.” \nIn 1964 he joined the training staff for Mississippi Freedom Summer\, in which nearly a thousand students from the North went to Mississippi to lead Freedom Schools and do voter registration. After helping design an activist curriculum with civil rights leaders Bayard Rustin\, James Farmer and others\, he taught at the Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, School of Social Change\, assisting young civil rights workers from the front lines to develop further their leadership skills. \nAfter taking advanced studies in sociology at Penn\, Lakey wrote a series of articles and books on the theory and strategy of nonviolent struggle. He taught at Haverford College and the University of Pennsylvania. In 1990 he co-founded Training for Change. He has led over 1500 workshops on five continents\, including work with the African National Congress and in the civil rights movements of Zimbabwe\, Taiwan\, and Myanmar. \nHe has also been an activist in other social movements in the U.S.: anti-Vietnam war\, gay liberation\, Men Against Patriarchy\, Jobs with Peace (a labor coalition)\, and climate justice. \n“Peace Educator of the Year\, 2010” \nIn 2006 Swarthmore College invited him to become Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor for Issues in Social Change\, where he created an on-line database of over 1000 cases of nonviolent campaigns in nearly 200 countries\, including dozens of campaigns from the classic period of the U.S. civil rights movement\, 1955-68. Swarthmore will be using his memoir as a course-assigned book. \nHe has lectured at Harvard\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Thailand’s Thommasat University\, and many other colleges and universities\, including as a popular speaker for the annual day remembering Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.

SUMMARY:Poor People's Assembly: Moral March on Washington
DESCRIPTION:The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022 will be a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t… \nWhy We March: \nWe Assemble and March on June 18\, 2022 because any nation that ignores nearly half of its citizens is in a moral\, economic and political crisis. There were 140 million people who were poor or one emergency away from economic ruin before the pandemic. Since March 2020\, while hundreds of thousands of people have died\, millions are on the edge of hunger and eviction\, and still without health care or living wages\, billionaire wealth has grown by over $2 trillion. \nSign Up to Learn More

SUMMARY:The Yemen War in Numbers: Saudi Escalation and U.S. Complicity
DESCRIPTION:President Biden came into office pledging to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen\, yet it has become clear that he has not. Now\, in the context of rising oil prices\, Biden is considering whether to give in to Saudi and Emirati demands that he escalate assistance for their war in exchange for increasing fossil fuel production. Yet as recent events have demonstrated\, America’s partners in the Middle East are hedging despite the Biden administration’s extensive support for their defense: they hope to strengthen their relationships with Moscow and Beijing while continuing to reap the benefits of Washington’s largesse. In the seven years since the Saudi-led coalition launched their war on Yemen\, the U.S. has been complicit in selling weapons and providing assistance without which the Saudis could not conduct their military operations. \nJoin The Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill\, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction founder Aisha Jumaan\, and The Cato Institute’s Justin Logan as they discuss a new brief from the Quincy Institute’s Annelle Sheline\, using data to highlight the U.S. role in supporting the war on Yemen and show parallels between Putin’s military assault on Ukraine and Mohammed bin Salman’s seven-year effort to destroy Yemen. Moderated by Quincy’s Executive Vice President Trita Parsi. \nThe discussion will take place on Thursday\, March 24\, from noon to 1 pm ET. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT

SUMMARY:Symposium: The New Paradigm in Politics
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of Ervin Laszlo and all our colleagues at the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research\, we extend a special invitation to join our upcoming three-day global online symposium on “The New Paradigm in Politics”\, scheduled for Friday\, July 23\, through Sunday\, July 25\, 2021. \nThe old\, corrupt\, and dysfunctional political order on planet Earth has reached the end of the line. To avoid universal disaster\, our entire human family must now come together to establish a locally rooted\, ecologically responsible\, unlimitedly networked\, and spiritually illumined global democracy worthy of the name. This is the defining task of our time. This is the next evolutionary leap in human consciousness and action that the “New Paradigm in Politics” online symposium proposes to serve. For this symposium\, we have designed a sequence of lectures and conversations that we believe sets the stage for time timely emergence of just such a pattern. \nSign up for free
