SUMMARY:Peace Vigil - week 95

Bring a friend! \nThanks to the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation for organizing these peace vigils through the years\, and for inviting us to share this space.

DESCRIPTION:Join Palestine Action of South Sound (PASS) for a healing walk at Sequalitchew Creek Trail\, a hidden gem. It is fully shaded\, but glitters like an emerald in spring and summer as the sun peeks through its lush canopy. We will start at the trailhead and walk down to the saltwater where the Nisqually People’s village of Sequalitchew thrived for thousands of years until European colonization. On this walk we will learn about edible berries and plants\, the area’s incredible human history\, and continued threats to the land and waters from so-called “development.” \nMeet at Dupont Civic Center Parking Lot.\, 1780 Civic Dr. \nThere is a carpool option: meet at Grocery Outlet on the Westside of Olympia at 5:20 PM. \nThis is a free\, family-friendly event.

SUMMARY:WWFOR Conference (Online): Strengthening Our Nonviolent Movement in This Time of Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Spring Assembly 2025\n\n\n“Strengthening Our Nonviolent Movement\nin This Time of Chaos”\n\n\nSaturday May 17\n9 am to 12 noon Pacific time\nZoom\nOnline Registration https://wwfor2025sa.brownpapertickets.com/\n(more options below) \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nIn the current political and societal turmoil\, all of us are affected in many ways. We may feel powerlessness\, grief\, or rage – or all of these in turns. These are understandable reactions to what some have termed an administrative coup by the Trump Administration. Yet we may also feel hope and community as we resist injustice and cruelty. Together\, let us consider what kind of nonviolent actions are most effective when our democratic norms and processes are being trampled. \nThis year’s Spring Assembly Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Stephen Zunes\, speaking on “Authoritarianism and Resistance: What the World Can Teach Us.” Stephen is a Professor of Politics and Global Studies at the University of San Francisco\, where he serves as coordinator of Middle Eastern Studies and the incoming director of USF’s Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice. He is a renowned scholar specializing in U.S. foreign policy\, pro-democracy struggles\, and strategic nonviolent action. \n\n\nSome of Stephen’s recent attention has been to what he has called the “slow moving coup” in the United States\, and on resisting authoritarianism. You can learn more about Stephen’s work at his website\, https://stephenzunes.org/. We encourage you to join us for what is bound to be a stimulating and rich learning experience. \n\n\nProf. Stephen Zunes\n\n\nWe will also be joined by the seven 2024-2025 Mike Yarrow Peace Fellows pictured below. This program is for youth activists aged 14 through 23 who get training in nonviolence and mentorship on their individual activist projects. The 2024-2025 cohort started last summer. WWFOR is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 cohort through June 1. Anyone considering applying for the program is welcome to attend the Spring Assembly to get a taste of the variety of projects. See our MYPF webpage at https://wwfor.org/mike-yarrow-peace-fellowship-4/. \n\nOnline and other methods to register \nhttps://wwfor2025sa.brownpapertickets.com/ OR submit name\, phone number\, and email address (if available) by phone or email  (contacts below)\, checks to\nWWFOR\, 225 N 70th St\, Seattle WA 98117. \nSuggested $0-20 donation.  All welcome regardless of ability to pay. \nMore information at https://wwfor.org/spring-assembly-2025/ \nInfo 206-789-5565 or wwfor@wwfor.org. \nThe Rachel Corrie Foundation works closely with Western Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation\, and is supportive of the effort to strengthen our nonviolent movement.
