Decentering Whiteness in NVC, with Roxy Manning

For Freedom Project Staff, Board and Volunteers   Nonviolent Communication (NVC) guides us to re-frame how we communicate with each other, helps us identify what is alive inside and find ways to express that. It allows us to work through conflict peacefully with integrity, and improve how we express ourselves. But as amazing as NVC is at strengthening connections with self, friends, loved ones and community, the benefits haven’t been accessible to all communities. Sadly, NVC ’s packaging and delivery haven’t always been done in a way that’s felt inclusive to all.   In the criminal legal system, People of

“How We See People” Anti Oppression / Mass Incarceration

RSVP How do we see people? What’s the impact on others? What lenses do we see through and where do these lenses come from? How are *we* seen?

This workshop seeks to explain the systems and institutions that shape the ways we see ourselves and others so that we can be more accountable for the impacts: internalized racial superiority, internalized racial inferiority, prejudice, fear and discrimination towards folks with conviction histories.

NVC for You and Me (Module 8 of 8) – Leadership Series for Black, Indigenous and People of Color

Nonviolent Communication (NVC), sometimes called Compassionate Communication, guides us to re-frame how we communicate with each other. When combined with mindfulness, NVC helps us identify what is alive inside of us and find ways to express that. It allows us to work through conflict peacefully with integrity, and improve how we express ourselves. But as amazing as NVC and mindfulness are at strengthening connections with self, friends, loved ones and community, the benefits haven’t been accessible to all communities. Sadly, NVC ’s packaging and delivery haven’t always been done in a way that’s felt inclusive to all. “NVC for You
