WBW News & Action: Congo, Palestine, and Peace

If this was forwarded to you, sign up for future news here.

What should unarmed civilians do when militaries attack or occupy their communities? What meaningful alternatives can peacebuilders offer? This six-week online course offers one such alternative: a comprehensive introduction to Unarmed Civilian Defense (UCD) — a people-powered approach to protecting communities and resisting violence without weapons.

This book is a practical guide to self-care, written for helpers—the caregivers, activists, community leaders, mental health and medical professionals who are the first to help others, but the last to seek help themselves. Join the author online (and get a copy of the book).
