Rev. Liz Theoharis, Ph.D. | Oct. 7, 2020 | Understanding and Engaging Movements for Justice in 2020
Channel: Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary
Date: 2020-10-14

Rev. Theoharis, Ph.D., discusses biblical and constitutional foundations for organizing for justice and movement building; strategies for unleashing the power of low-income people in the lead-up to the election; and the imperative of building a movement during the current moment when we're faced with multiple interlocking crises.

This session was the third 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.
