Webinars

Our monthly webinars are dedicated to unpacking what “living courageously” means in practice. As our series is split into four thematic quarters throughout the year, each webinar turns lessons learned into a simple promise: helping participants take small, concrete risks for a more humane, just, and peaceful world. This quarter, in particular, centers on stories of courage emerging from communities facing injustice, displacement, and invisibility. Through case studies spanning prison justice, migrant solidarity, and underreported humanitarian crises, this quarter’s webinars will highlight how communities respond with resilience, solidarity, and action. for a more humane, just, and peaceful world.
