Nonviolenceworks
The goal of NonviolenceWorks in 2022 is to focus efforts at peacebuilding and nonviolence in a single Chicago community area, South Shore, a mixed-income African American community which is persistently high in violence. The means by which NonviolenceWorks will achieve this goal is to create a “Nonviolence Zone,” a system of thought and behavior that eschews violence as a problem-solving tool for ordinary life challenges. In this Zone, training will be conducted for leaders of the six principal institutions (schools, religious groups, families, medical and health groups, government officials, and businesses), to learn the principles and practices of nonviolence as taught by Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other leaders to create positive social change. It is essential to address leaders because they are often the “influencers” in their arenas of work. This project will allow NonviolenceWorks to gain a foothold in the community which can then be used to expand training to more residents and contribute to fixing the widespread violence problem beginning at the family and community-level.
