Hastings on nonviolence

Monday, April 08, 2024

Listening with what Kwame Christian calls compassionate curiosity is a path to deëscalation.

Tom H. Hastings: I am an old peace and justice activist from the 60s who just never stopped. At some point, when I was a community organizer working for Waging Peace in northern Wisconsin, I realized I needed a lot more education and theory to become a better activist. I picked up a few degrees and now I teach it. I've written a few books and spent time in many jails and three prisons for my nonviolent actions and see no reason to stop in our era of cascading problems from the war system.
