We all have unconscious bias and we all have work to do to become aware of, and unlearn it. It’s a life-long effort, and like any effort in nonviolence, it can be done with strategy and an open-heart toward the people involved.
For over 21 years, feminist activist and scholar Sally Eck has been leading workshops on “interruptions,” and “calling-in.” She offers empowerment, tools, and strategy for interrupting oppressive attitudes and language. Listen in here for her interview and the Nonviolence Report, news from the world of nonviolence with Michael Nagler.

Would love to see links to references in the nonviolence report here…and extracts, or even a transcript.
As a brain donor to my children, I often have a hard time retaining the exact names of what I heard here. Would appreciate the ability to turn back to it.
Wonderful and important work. Thank you.
