Our hearts are breaking.
And, still we celebrate those who are lighting candles of hope even as we must curse the darkness.
At NVI, we know that we are not condemned to live in a state of perpetual violence.
Let’s raise up a vision of a better future and a nonviolent path to get there.
Below we list a variety of powerful resources shared with us by our partner the Center for Jewish Nonviolence.
In these hard times, we hope you will take inspiration from the wonderful ongoing vital work of our partners.
They deserve our active support.

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness...What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction...And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." -- Howard Zinn
