This week guest Michael Beer, executive director of Nonviolence International joins us to discuss nonviolence movements, past and present, in the middle east and how we can support them. The US government is handing 110 billion dollars worth of arms to Saudi Arabia to “build security and stop terrorism.” We suspect that this money will do nothing of the sort. We coulnter with the question, “What would it look like to pour $110 billion worth of Nonviolence into the Middle East?” Throughout the show we will hear excepts from interviews with Bsher Said, Sumbul Ali-Karamali, Ali Abu Awaad, and Farah Muhsin, discussing topics including Syria, Arab Spring, Jihad, and the use of social media in international nonviolent movements.

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?
