Hi Mark. The go-to teachers in that realm for me are not facilitators but rather organizers who use nonviolent action campaigns to build popular power and make change.
Choosing nonviolent action is a strategic and to some degree a moral choice. I read historians who show that the violent part of the American Revolution was probably not necessary, because the American colonies had already "defeated" Britain - using economic boycotts and other tactics they were substantially independent already. Anyway, I suggest looking into nonviolent action as a method for the level of conflict you are concerned about. There's a great searchable database of successful campaigns around the world hosted by Swarthmore at https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/ Warmly Jeff On Fri, Nov 19, 2021, 9:20 PM Mark Carmel via OSList < [email protected]> wrote: > Whenever we as leaders and facilitators open up the safe space for new > hypotheses and change it's important to remember one thing..
