Democratizing training for nonviolent resistance
This month, the Albert Einstein Institution launches a new People-Powered Training Platform.
The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Gene Sharp in 1983 to advance the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action in conflict. The Institution is committed to defending democratic freedoms and institutions, opposing oppression, dictatorship and genocide, and reducing reliance on violence as an instrument of policy.
Waging Nonviolence partners with other organizations and publishes their work.
