Workshop #1 (Sunday April 24) — Links to readings for today’s workshop
Each 2-hour workshop in this 6-part series (“Nonviolent Grassroots Organizing”) includes a lot of substantive information, inspiration, and practical usefulness. Each workshop is supplemented with some of the best resources I have gathered (and many that I have written) in the past 50 years. Unlike school “homework” assignments that are mandatory, these are not mandatory, but I do enthusiastically encourage each participant to read these because they flesh out the substance of each workshop. You will probably want to save some of these for later use, because they are that practical. Workshop #1 is titled, “The Power and Practicality of […]

Gandhi quotation encourages underdogs pushing against the Establishment
Mohandas Gandhi (the “Mahatma”) was a very savvy and strategic organizers of nonviolent grassroots movements. He knew first-hand what it was like to organize against a powerful Establishment, such as the racist, oppressive, exploitative British Empire. See this brief quotation, which all of us underdogs should find encouraging as we organize uphill against powerful political, social and economic oppressors: Gandhi quotation encourages underdogs fighting the Establishment

Nonviolent Grassroots Organizing Creates Light and Progress
Nonviolent Grassroots Organizing Creates Light and Progress Glen Anderson (360) 491-9093 glenanderson@integra.net The January 2022 theme for the Olympia-based publication Works In Progress (www.olywip.org) – “Where do we find light” – is a smart question to ask. I recommend finding light in two places: in ourselves and in the world around us. Contrary to the cynical assumption that human beings are inherently competitive and cruel (and contrary to the religious assumption that we’re doomed by “original sin”), powerful research affirms humans inherently want to cooperate and be good to each other. I read the book Humankind: A Hopeful History written […]
Proposing a Bold New Global Peace Movement Led by Women
The November 2021 episode of “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” proposes a bold, new worldwide peace movement – and it will be much more successful if women lead it. The world is stuck in violence, militarism, systemic injustices, and ecocide. The status quo is dominated by top-down systems of war and other kinds of injustices. Wars do not work. Nuclear war could instantly destroy us all. Instead of top-down dysfunction, the world needs a very bold grassroots movement grounded in profound nonviolence. The movement can succeed, especially if women to lead it on behalf of children and all of humanity. Glen interviewed […]
Now We Empower Ourselves to Achieve Bold Goals
The January 2021 interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” TV program will help YOU make progress on the issues YOU care about. Many of our nation’s problems had existed for a very long time. These include racial injustice, economic inequality, environmental problems, a foreign policy that is both cruel and violent, and some dysfunctional aspects of our electoral systems. From 2017 through 2020, Trump made these and other problems even worse. Really, this goes beyond partisanship. Many of our nation’s problems are long-standing and bi-partisan. The American people have values that are better, wiser, more compassionate, and more progressive than either of […]
