ABOUT THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM
We have all heard about the recent rise fo bullying in the US. The FBI has reported a substantial increase in hate crimes (verbal and physical abuse against minorities) spiking at the end of last year. Many of us have been a victim of or witnessed hateful speech directed at another because of race, gender, religion, ability. What can we do about those difficult situations when we encounter them? Anne Barton will speak about how to respond to everyday bigotry, de-escalate harassment and handling bullies nonviolently. Anne Barton is on the board of directors of the Peace Resource Center. The PRC was established in 1980 to provide a clearinghouse of peace and social justice resources, issues and activities. It has expanded to promote networking among peace-related organizations; to offer nonviolent alternatives in conflict resolution; and to carry on an expanding program of peace education in San Diego.
