DESCRIPTION:This is an informative, inspiring, and extremely relevant "DeCal" course 
 open to both Berkeley students and to members of the community.  We meet 
 Wednesdays from 4:00 to 6:00 until the end of the Spring semester, and we 
 need more students!  \n\nClass Description:\n\nThis course will give 
 students the opportunity to learn about the theory and practice of 
 nonviolent activism and to engage in service/learning projects in the 
 community. The class draws its inspiration from the early years of the 
 Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), when student activism 
 lead directly to desegregation of lunch counters, registration of 
 African-American voters, and other achievements within the broader civil 
 rights struggle. Recognizing that we as a society still have a long way to 
 go to achieve the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King dreamed of, this 
 class provides students an opportunity to do concrete, constructive 
 nonviolent work.\n\nThe theory portion of the class will focus on topics 
 such as principled vs. strategic nonviolence, the role of religion and 
 spirituality in nonviolent activism, the history of SNCC, and nonviolent 
 social movements. Pace E Bene will help conduct “nonviolence 
 trainings,” and we’ll invite special guest speakers from organizations 
 such as the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and the Central Committee on 
 Conscientious Objection.\n\nThe field work projects will be chosen by 
 consensus of the students.\n
