Each session we will watch a segment of the film, A FORCE MORE POWERFUL (www.aforcemorepowerful.org), which tells the story of six popular movements for democracy which used strategies of nonviolent conflict in the twenty-first century to overturn injustice and entrenched military regimes.
We will watch the film segments and discuss how it can inform work we are engaging in today.
Sessions will be led by Rev. Phil Lawson, a veteran of the US Civil Rights movement who serves on the Organizing Committee for the National Council of Elders of the Civil Rights and Justice movements of the last 60 years.
There is no cost to attend the study group. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. Location is wheelchair accessible. Spanish language subtitles/translation available (please RSVP).
