SUMMARY:Good vs. Toxic Polarization: Insights from Activists and Peacebuilders
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Horizons Project\, an initiative of PartnersGlobal Institute and Humanity United committed to strengthening practical dialogue between the social justice\, peacebuilding\, and democracy communities in the US\, we are examining ways to address the deep polarization that threatens the foundations of our democracy. On the one hand\, polarizing narratives are a key tool of nonviolent mobilization and social justice activism; on the other hand\, toxic polarization\, where the other side is seen as an irreconcilable enemy\, can undermine the legitimacy of democratic norms and institutions and increase the likelihood of political violence. Which aspects of polarization are good and normal\, and when does polarization tip over into dangerous toxicity? We will hear from scholars\, activists and peacebuilders.    \nWith:\nDr. Peter Coleman\, professor of psychology and education at Columbia University\, executive director of Advanced Consortium on Cooperation\, Conflict and Complexity\, and renowned expert on conflict resolution.\nTabitha Moore\, Vermont racial justice advocate\, licensed therapist\, law enforcement official\, and child welfare expert; works at the intersection of individual and community identity development and systemic oppression. \nDr. Maria J. Stephan\, Senior Advisor\, Horizons Project\, and TRUST Network Consulting Partner \nRegister to attend:\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJModumqrjgoHdd-T2NM60bYEWWoGvUGp46M

SUMMARY:The Role of Women in Natural Resource Mediation Processes In Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on The Role of Women in Natural Resource Mediation Processes In Indonesia\, led by Raihal Fajri. This hour-long conversation event will be on Wednesday\, March 31st\, 2021 at 5 am EST (-4 UTC) / 4 pm Jakarta Time (+7 UTC). Please use the Time Zone Converter to determine when this engaging conversation will be in your time zone. \nRegister here!\nSpeaker Bio: Raihal Fajri\n \nRaihal is the executive director of the Katahati Institute that focuses on good governance and democracy. In 2015\, Raihal attended MBBI’s International Peace Training Institute (IPTI) in Jakarta\, Indonesia and has been an engaged MBBI member ever since. Since 2014\, the Katahati Institute has been established as a civil society knowledge center in Aceh\, Indoneisa\, focusing on best practices for civil society. This has led her to build trust with several key persons in government offices and agencies in Aceh. She has uncovered other challenges\, including land use conflict\, which is a big problem throughout the country\, including logging of UNESCO protected areas. She has also written a book with the title Share for Change\, the initiative of Aceh’s civil society\, on how in 2000\, 437 women from 20 districts came to Aceh to talk about how to enforce peace in Aceh. This was important as it was the first collection of information regarding peace processes\, encoded not only by men but also by women in Indonesia.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Resilience and Peacefulness in the United States
DESCRIPTION:What can the US learn from the world’s most resilient nations and how can that be used to strengthen resilience locally? Measures of peacefulness and resilience in the US have been deteriorating for over a decade but the country still weathers social and ecological storms better than most. However\, increasing grievances\, persistent inequities and rising extremism are eroding the country’s ability to deal with current and future threats. This session will outline IEP research on peacefulness in the US and present a tool that can help organizations to holistically explore challenges and opportunities for building peace at a local level. \nWith Michael Collins\, Executive Director of The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) in the Americas \n\nRegister to attend: \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAld-GoqD8jHdNEesDttodCb4UMHF1YVDqJ
