DESCRIPTION:Join the Resource Center and author Kazu Haga for a reading and discussion 
 about his new book, "Healing Resistance: A Radically Different Response to 
 Harm." Copies of the book can be purchased at www.healingresistance.com, 
 and will be available for a donation at the event.\n\nActivists and social 
 change agents, restorative justice practitioners, faith leaders, and 
 anybody engaged in social progress and shifting society will find this 
 mindful approach to nonviolent action indispensable.\n\nNonviolence was 
 once considered the highest form of activism and radical change. And yet 
 its basic truth, its restorative power, has been forgotten. In Healing 
 Resistance, leading Kingian Nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga blazingly 
 reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice (utilized by 
 the Women’s March and Black Lives Matter), and proves that nonviolent 
 civil resistance remains the most effective strategy for social change in 
 hostile times. With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching 
 Kingian Nonviolence, Haga offers us the practical approach to societal 
 conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights 
 Movement, which has been developed into a fully workable, step-by-step 
 training and deeply transformative philosophy. Kingian Nonviolence takes on 
 the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout, and presents 
 tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient, creating equity, and 
 restoring peace.\n\n“Kazu Haga’s deep, nuanced, and principled 
 commitment to nonviolence has challenged and inspired me and many others 
 who’ve had the privilege of encountering his work.”\n—Michelle 
 Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of 
 Colorblindness\n\n"Kazu Haga reminds us of the power of nonviolence, 
 building on the work of Gandhi and King and informed by his own life and 
 insight in a way that touches us all today. Haga teaches us that true 
 belonging … is a challenging process that takes constant work and 
 training from the internal to the interpersonal to the institutional. But 
 that the work is worth the reward of building Beloved Community. We owe a 
 debt of gratitude to Haga for his work and words and have in this book a 
 manual for loving and for living nonviolence that will guide and inspire 
 generations to come."\n—john a. powell, director of the Othering and 
 Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and author of Racing to Justice: 
 Transforming Our Concept of Self and Other to Build an Inclusive 
 Society\n\n"Kazu Haga is a masterful teacher connecting our internal and 
 external experiences: of intending, of doing, and of being—living 
 together with care and justice."\n— Larry Yang, core teacher at the East 
 Bay Meditation Center, member of the Spirit Rock Teachers Council, and 
 author of Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and 
 Community\n\n“Kazu Haga has written an accessible, thorough, and deeply 
 personal introduction to nonviolence as a power for personal and social 
 transformation. He reflects upon common myths about nonviolent resistance, 
 offers practical insight from his own experiences, and challenges readers 
 to consider a radical, healing approach to confronting injustice. An 
 inspiring read.” \n—Erica Chenoweth, Berthold Beitz Professor in Human 
 Rights and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School and author of 
 Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know\n
