This two-hour workshop offers a grounded, accessible introduction to nonviolent action while creating space for participants to ask questions and make sense of the present moment together. Drawing on well-established frameworks—including Adam Curle’s model of conflict transformation, Gene Sharp’s analysis of power and nonviolent methods, and Erica Chenoweth’s research on what makes movements effective—the session will provide shared language and practical context for understanding what is happening right now. Participants will have opportunities to engage with these ideas, explore different forms of involvement, and reflect on how people can show support in different ways. The focus is on clarity, agency, and practical hope: helping people feel better informed, less overwhelmed, and more able to engage meaningfully in their current context.
