SUMMARY:Democracy Narratives and Sacred Values
DESCRIPTION:Narrative engagement has become an essential competency for all social change leaders. What is the essence of the stories that underpin how we and others are making sense of the issues we care about? And how can we communicate more effectively about our values\, and incorporate others’ values to galvanize collective action for change? While democracy is alarmingly under threat around the world and in the US\, many activists are urgently re-thinking the narrative strategies we should be deploying to build broader constituencies and powerful\, winning movements for inclusive and pluralistic democratic societies. Join us for a discussion of both the theory and practice that can help us re-think these democracy narratives\, and how we might draw upon sacred values (our own and others) to identify and align around effective democracy narratives. \nThe Horizons Project\, together with Over Zero\, Beyond Conflict\, and the Hudson Institute discussed recent research\, practice and insights to help lead this discussion. This event was part of the the Alliance for Peacebuilding and the U.S. Peace\, Justice\, and Democracy Working Group weekly webinar series called Preventing and Reducing Conflict and Instability in the United States: Shaping What Comes Next. \nModerator: Julia Roig\, from the Horizons Project is the President of PartnersGlobal\, Chair of the Board of AfP and author of Engaging Narratives for Peace. \nDiscussants: \nMichelle Barsa is Program Director at Beyond Conflict and manages a growing portfolio of initiatives on social inclusion and behavior change communications\nNichole Argo\, PhD\, is the Director of Research and Field Advancement at Over Zero. Her research centers on sacred values and intergroup conflict and she recently co-authored “What Immigration Issues do Americans Hold Sacred?”\nTod Lindberg is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute specializing in national security issues and the role of U.S. leadership. \nIf you missed the event\, go here for a summary and/or a recording of the event.

SUMMARY:Good vs. Toxic Polarization
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Horizons Project\, an initiative of PartnersGlobal Institute and Humanity United committed to strengthening practical dialogue between the social justice\, peacebuilding\, and democracy communities in the US\, we are examining ways to address the deep polarization that threatens the foundations of our democracy. On the one hand\, polarizing narratives are a key tool of nonviolent mobilization and social justice activism; on the other hand\, toxic polarization\, where the other side is seen as an irreconcilable enemy\, can undermine the legitimacy of democratic norms and institutions and increase the likelihood of political violence. Which aspects of polarization are good and normal\, and when does polarization tip over into dangerous toxicity? In this TRUST Network event\, supported by The PartnersGlobal Institute\, Alliance for Peacebuilding and Humanity United\, we discussed this important topic with scholars\, activists and peacebuilders. \nWith:\nDr. Peter Coleman\, Professor of psychology and education at Columbia University\, Executive Director of Advanced Consortium on Cooperation\, Conflict and Complexity\, and renowned expert on conflict resolution.\nTabitha Moore\, Vermont racial justice advocate\, licensed therapist\, former law enforcement officer and juvenile justice administrator\, works at the intersection of individual and community identity development and systemic oppression.\nDr. Maria J. Stephan\, Senior Advisor\, Horizons Project\, and TRUST Network thought partner \n \nIf you missed the event\, go here for a summary and/or a recording of the event.

SUMMARY:A Book Talk with Kazu Haga on Healing Resistance
DESCRIPTION:This event was cohosted by PartnersGlobal Institute\, Humanity United\, East Point Peace Academy\, On Earth Peace\, and the Kingian Nonviolence Network. \nThis discussion was part of a series of practical dialogues on the intersections of peacebuilding\, social justice\, and democracy through the Horizons Project\, an initiative of the PartnersGlobal Institute and Humanity United. Horizons Project Senior Advisor Maria J. Stephan interviewed author and Kingian nonviolence practitioner Kazu Haga on his new book. \nHealing Resistance -Illustrated \nGet a quick glimpse of the topics and sentiments discussed by Kazu in this graphic illustration from artist Adriana Fainstein! You can find more of Adriana’s work here. \n \nEvent Description \nActivists and social change agents\, restorative justice practitioners\, faith leaders\, and anybody engaged in social progress and shifting society will find this mindful approach to nonviolent action indispensable. \nNonviolence was once considered the highest form of activism and radical change. And yet its basic truth\, its restorative power\, has been forgotten. In Healing Resistance\, leading Kingian Nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga blazingly reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice (utilized by the Women’s March and Black Lives Matter)\, and proves that nonviolent civil resistance remains the most effective strategy for social change in hostile times. \nWith over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching Kingian Nonviolence\, Haga offers us the practical approach to societal conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement\, which has been developed into a fully workable\, step-by-step training and deeply transformative philosophy. Kingian Nonviolence takes on the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout\, and presents tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient\, creating equity\, and restoring peace. \nIf you missed the event\, go here for a summary and/or a recording of the event.
