Sarah Nahar, M.Div. | Sept. 23, 2020 | Understanding and Engaging Movements for Justice in 2020
Channel: Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
Date: 2020-10-14

Sarah Nahar, M.Div, presents tactics and strategies for nonviolent direct action and movement building. Her insights draw on both Anabaptist and Black feminist perspectives on participating in action for justice, peacebuilding, and change processes.

This session was the first in a four-part series advocating for nonviolence as an effective strategy to resist violence and support movements for justice. The series was made possible through a partnership between Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Voices from different streams of nonviolence—including communal nonviolence, liberationist nonviolence, and strategic nonviolence—will speak as witnesses to the power of nonviolence in action.
