As we face a multitude of issues that are impacting the health of our communities, many of us are asking: What Can I Do? 

In response, The Compassionate Communities Healthcare Movement and the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights are hosting an interactive series of workshops focused on the remarkable effectiveness of well-organized, nonviolent, grassroots movements.

Throughout history, nonviolent movements created and developed at a community level have been integral in enhancing the health of communities. We will come together to expand our understanding of this powerful approach, engage in practices that enable us to develop our skills, and cultivate a strong community of practitioners of nonviolence.

We welcome you to join us as we connect for our first workshop on May 8th. We will share a healthy, homemade dinner, share our stories and insights, consider individual and collective opportunities for meaningful action, and identify next steps.

We will welcome many voices, including those not often invited to the conversation. Local artists, musicians, poets and other community members will help us create a nourishing space so we can begin to heal ourselves and our community and move forward together.
