“Nonviolence in Action” conference comes to Madison

Advocacy leaders from across the globe are gathering in Madison next Thursday for “Nonviolence in Action.” The day-long conference aims to facilitate interfaith conversations on a broad range of themes – including criminal justice reform, alternatives to militarism, and protecting our democracy. Linda Alvarado-Arce, co-executive director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, is moderating a workshop at the conference. She told our News Producer Faye Parks that, in especially violent times, nonviolence is more valuable than ever. Image courtesy: Pedro via Flickr.
