DESCRIPTION:Dear siblings, these times are a great call for change. \n\nAs Thich Nhat 
 Hanh once said: "Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and 
 nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront 
 adversity."\n\nLet's bring the practice of nonviolent, compassionate action 
 to life in “Beloved Community”, for the collective awakening of 
 ourselves and our society. Together we can walk in peace, love, compassion, 
 and awareness.\n\nSunday August 2\n11:00 am Sit\n11:30 am Walk\n12:00 pm 
 Listening Circle\n\nWhat:\nMindful sitting, walking, and listening circles 
 in the style of the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. \n\nWhy:\nTo 
 bring "collective awakening" and the practice of compassion, love, and deep 
 listening to the streets and public spaces so that ‘Black Lives Matter’ 
 may truly manifest throughout all societies and cultures.\n\nWho: \nDiverse 
 Buddhist groups, interfaith community, everyone\n\nWhen:\nSunday, August 2 
 11:00am - 1:00 at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza (14th/Broadway), Oakland, 
 California\n\nHow:\nWe will maintain 6ft social distancing and wear face 
 masks. Signs encouraged.  \n\nPlease remember the intention behind this 
 practice, e.g.:\n“Buddhist for Black Lives Matters”  \n“Standing up 
 for Injustice by Sitting down”\n“Peace, Love, Justice”\n“Awareness 
 of suffering”\n“Listening with an open heart to black 
 people”\n“Nonviolent Action is the action” “\n“The essence of 
 nonviolence is love”\n"Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of 
 suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront 
 adversity."  \n\nNote about Photography\nAs organizers, we are committed to 
 creating a safe container for healing and listening. We are also aware that 
 we are hosting our events in public space, and there is often media 
 present. We ask all media to practice ethical photography, asking for 
 consent when images taken can physically identify a person. We also ask all 
 media to sign in with name, email, and news organization. Individuals may 
 also take photographs, and we ask the same of them. Please be respectful 
 and mindful when photographing another person, knowing that they may not 
 wish to have their image captured in this way.\n
