What will replace the violence we seek to eliminate from our world?

Compassion, love, peace? But what do these words look like in action? How do we make them tangible in our daily life, in our communities and institutions?

With COVID-19 affecting every aspect of our lives, we are forced to think about how our “new normal” will look. This pandemic has shown us what we don't want our world to be; in order to realize a violence-free world, we need to be able to tangibly envision what would fill that world.

So we invite you to join us as we daydream and reimagine, cultivate hope and transform our world. Far from being trivial, this imagining serves as a vital starting point towards collectively building something new. Plans come from ideas, and ideas come from dreams.

Tomorrow is Denim Day and our Survivor Virtual Rally ([link removed]) . Join us in reimagining our world in solidarity with survivors.

Let's gather our virtual selves in the virtual world for an unprecedented Denim Day Survivor Virtual Rally ([link removed]) . For those of us who have been wearing pajamas and sweatpants for the past few weeks, we can change into our denim for a good cause on Wednesday, April 29th.
