"This isn’t meant to be an evaluation of cultures, to deem one better than the other, but what I’ve seen in Japan has proven to me that a successful coronavirus containment doesn’t mean having to give up personal freedom or liberty: there was no forced government lockdown or threatening fines for breaking social distancing rules, and Japan’s citizens choose how they’d like to live their day to day."

Looking for a great gift for your friends and family that will support causes you care about? The Gandhi Cards are a great option, and they will help spread nonviolence in the New Year! $20 covers the deck, shipping in the U.S., and a small donation to the Institute.

There is still time to sign up for our upcoming book group on Kazu Haga's "Healing Resistance!" This group will run from December to January and will be a great way to finish 2020 strong and start 2021 right.

We love this important book by Fania Davis, "The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice." Check out this lunch time event with our friends at PIRI this week!
