Hey Metta Readers —
Check out this super post by Peace Academic-Activist Randall Amster that was just posted on Truthout, his article “What the Muslim World Can Teach Us About Nonviolence.” This is the kind of information and reminder we need to get out, again and again, in a world that often confuses nonviolence with pacifism, and more frighteningly, continues to confuse Islam with terrorism. Thank you, Randall, for your scholarship and your passion. Keep spreading the word!
In solidarity, The Metta Team
P.S. Randall will be giving a talk at Metta Center in the coming weeks. Watch our email list for an announcement soon. If you haven’t yet signed up for the email list, you can do so on our contact page. We would love to connect with you!

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
