It is time for collective action. If we continue to claim territory verses acknowledging our responsibility we will remain in a state of mental poverty. Lets come together so that we may meet the demand for training.
So does increased militarization of cities by law enforcement and institutionalization of violence beget resistance and violent uprisings. We must look for effective alternatives to increasing the violent capabilities of those who are sworn to pro...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

How Post-Racial America Forgot about Shem Walker

“Shem Walker? Who the heck is Shem Walker?”
That was the response a friend had when I brought up the name of the recently murdered Brooklynite. I will admit that I would have LOVED to stand on my higher-than-thou step stool and wag my finger at him; I’d love to point… Continue

As violence begets violence
So does increased militarization of cities by law enforcement and institutionalization of violence beget resistance and violent uprisings. We must look for effective alternatives to increasing the violent capabilities of those who are sworn to protect us, that will foster positive growth and social ideal changes.

To me it is not that the movement for change in a non-violence way is lacking it is that the news is dominated by the violent movements of governments. It is my opinion that the tide is slowly changing. I see the oyunger adult generations as more susceptible to negotiation and compromise than our predecessors. This being the case, there is hope to make real progress, not just… Continue

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
