St. David’s Hosts Nonviolent Peaceforce Gathering

NP uses Unarmed Civilian Protection strategies to equip individuals and communities to deescalate situations, e.g., youth leaders in Darfur, Women Protection Teams in South Sudan and Community Peace Builders in Minneapolis and New York City.

"For people living in violent conflict, nonviolence can change everything," said NP Executive Director Tiffany Easthom. After the presentations, we had a lively Q&A with Tiffany and the Director of Mutual Protection, USA Kalaya’an Mendoza and learned so much from the stories and information they shared.
