Reporting on the use of non-violence for peace and justice
Ekklesia reports that journalists and activists have launched a new website, providing news, analysis, and original reporting on the use of nonviolence by ordinary people around the world in their struggle for justice.
With no website currently offering daily comprehensive coverage of nonviolent actions—such as marches, sit-ins, strikes, or fasting, Waging Nonviolence aims to fill that important role and show, as Margaret Mead once said, that small groups of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.One feature on the site that captures Mead’s sentiment is “Experiments with Truth,” a daily digest of the most interesting and important stories of people using nonviolence, picked from a variety of news sources and condensed into a brief summary with links to read more.
The site will also feature periodic dispatches from on-the-ground journalists and activists covering or taking part in nonviolent actions.
