SUMMARY:Webinar - IN ANOTHER'S LAND: War and Militarization
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR II In Another’s Land: War and Militarization\nDate: 5 February 2025\nExploring dynamics of war\, militarization and the influence of private companies and business interests in contemporary geopolitics; how it impacts world peace and how nonviolent movements organise in the midst of war. \nNCEJN’s Co Director Rania Masri is one of the three speakers. \n— \nWEBINAR II: Exploring dynamics of war\, militarization and the influence of private companies and business interests in contemporary geopolitics; how it impacts world peace and how nonviolent movements organise in the midst of war. \nSocial justice movements worldwide navigate a complex terrain\, facing multiple forms of violence; from war to oppression\, surveillance to discrimination and beyond. How do people organise and resist in such realities? How can they succeed? \nThis six-part webinar series invites activists\, scholars\, policymakers\, and the public to explore the complex roots\, manifestations and dynamics of violence\, and the transformative role of social movements in acheiving justice and building peace. \nStrategic and sustained non-violent action has proven to be one of the most powerful tools for confronting state and institutional violence and addressing the underlying conditions that fuel conflict and oppression. Understanding the conditions that often lead to violence\, and the many forms in which it manifests can help us to de-escalate and dismantle. \nEach webinar will deliberate on the roots and manifestations of violence\, and the strategic approaches that movements employ to resist and organize. Through the course of these deliberations\, we aim to explore the practical and strategic dimensions of non-violent action\, learn how to support and amplify these efforts\, fostering broader solidarity and systemic transformation towards more just and peaceful societies. \n  \nRead about the other webinars here.

SUMMARY:Emergency Community Assembly
DESCRIPTION:“We reject the centering of the university in local organizing\, but the continued harm and outright aggression against the community by UNC cannot be ignored. Bringing in hundreds of police officers into the community on April 30th\, the coal plant which pollutes the air of surrounding black neighborhoods and the university’s plan to switch to PFAS pellets which would fill the air with forever chemicals\, gentrification\, and eager collaboration with ICE – the university continues to endanger our communities with no sign of stopping. The situation demands response. Show up smart.” \n“We are tired of the university harming our communities.\nThe announcement that UNC will cooperate with ICE and hand over its own students represents a willful and callous continued commitment to racist police violence by the university. We invite the community and students to gather in assembly to discuss these developments.\nWe protect us. \nPeace and Justice Plaza\n6pm Saturday\, February 1st\nMask Required \n-No to ICE and UNCPD\n-No to financial support for genocide\, war\, and apartheid\n-No to PFAS pallets and coal\n-No to gentrification and climbing rents”
