News Items - February 2008

[1] We will be talking with the organisers of the upcoming anti-war rally in Sydney, with a view to eliciting a commitment to nonviolence from each of the participating groups.

[2] The Nonviolence Training Project (see sidebar) is apparently defunct. We are exploring avenues to try to revive this project, or one very much like it.

[3] Want to read more about nonviolence as a political strategy?

Here are two books we highly recommend:

• Waging Nonviolent Struggle - 20th Century Practice and 21st Century Potential - by Gene Sharp ISBN: 978-0-87558-161

• The Power Of Nonviolence - Writings By Advocates Of Peace - Introduction by Howard Zinn ISBN: 0-8070-1407-9
