The Answers Are There with author Libby Hoffman
Our world desperately needs new ways to support community transformation. In The Answers Are There, Libby Hoffman shows us what is possible when outside aid animates, rather than obstructs, local leadership and recognizes and honors community wisdom, priorities, and resources. This book shares stories of individual and communal transformation in Sierra Leone, where the culture of community was nearly destroyed by civil war. But the unique approach of Fambul Tok (“family talk”)—anchoring reconciliation in indigenous traditions of communal truth-telling, apology, and forgiveness—restored that culture and unleashed a powerful resource for national healing. Fambul Tok’s core conviction—that ordinary people have the creativity, capacity, and determination to transform their communities according to their own needs and desires—changed a country, and with it, international peace and development.
Peace & Justice Conversations: Money in Politics and the Military Industrial Complex
Join Olivia Zink, Executive Director of Open Democracy, for a conversation about the ways money corrupts our political system and drives government in the interest of profit over people, including a discussion of how money in our political process drives militarism. Olivia will talk about the ways money has corrupted our political process and the legislative and organizing steps being taken to fight back against this undue influence over our political process.
Peace and Justice Conversations: Judith LeBlanc: The Peace Movement and Native Communities
Join Judith for a discussion of the intersections and synergies of the traditional peace movement and the tribal nations and Native communities. How can the peace movement be in relationship with Native communities in the common struggle for a healthy and peaceful future for future generations?
Iranian Nonviolence: Talking about Dignity and Peace-building
Join the Iranian Nonviolence Initiative and its founder, Moji Agha (along with Iranians actively engaged in nonviolent struggle inside Iran–on Clubhouse) in a bilingual English-Persian conversation with New Hampshire Peace Action’s Amy Antonucci and Will Hopkins about what is happening currently in Iran, focusing on the importance of dignity in peace-building. We will discuss the critical role nonviolence is playing in the struggle in Iran (especially among the youth), and the ways Americans and Iranians can work together to ensure a peaceful future for both of our nations.
