Toolkit for Occupy Activists

Dear Friend, 

As a volunteer for the Metta Center, I have found and inquired a vast array of knowledge and wisdom that has allowed my journey within nonviolence to progress at an exponential rate. It is truly is a gift to have this source of information at our hands in a time that needs it the most.  Just as I have found great use with the education provided by the Metta Center, you can too. Included here is a tool kit available to guide either beginners in the right direction or for those who would like to advance their knowledge of nonviolence even further.

 

Downloads available: On Metta’s website, there is an included nonviolence wallet card, a Study guide for Michael Nagler’s book titled, “Search for a nonviolent future”, and a Pamphlet titled “Hope or Terror? Gandhi and the other 9/11,” which is also written by Michael Nagler. Click on the following links, and print & distribute any material you find compelling:

To get a further idea of where we think the movement should be heading, please have a look at Michael Nagler’s recent op-ed titled “Is This the Movement that We’ve Been Waiting For.” If you have any questions regarding nonviolence, we have an Ask Metta section on our webpage, or you could follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

 

 

With love,
