This action-driven conversation, co-sponsored by PEAC Institute and the General Board of Church and Society, will explore the challenge of dismantling cultures of violence. Through both historical and contemporary lenses, we will highlight some of the terrifying consequences we're facing due to not fixing our culture of violence while also offering examples of nature-based solutions that people are successfully executing today.

As the country goes through another racial reckoning, we feel it is important also to draw attention to the legacy and the lies on which the country was founded. We will continue to promote stories of human development, social justice, and arts and culture, thinking of ways to bring news of solidarity, resistance, and resilience to the main stage. Your support ensures these important stories can be shared.
