Connections Podcast

Nonviolence during a time of war


Listen Later

About eight million people attended this past weekend's "No Kings" protests, organizers say. They predicted the day's thousands of demonstrations would be the "single-largest non-violent day of action" in U.S. history. Has the nonviolence movement changed in recent years? How has it been affected by tragedies like the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis? Our guests join us from the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence to discuss the state of nonviolence education and resistance, especially during a time of war. In studio:

  • Erin Thompson, executive director of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence
  • Isaiah Santiago, commissioner of the Rochester City School District Board of Education and keynote speaker for the Gandhi Institute's "Soulforce" gala
  • Ashwin Shah, community member and former board member of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence
