Center for Nonviolence","description":"We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it\u2019s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/#organization","name":"Metta Center for Nonviolence","url":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/03\/Metta_Logo_Black_large-1.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/03\/Metta_Logo_Black_large-1.png","width":1600,"height":382,"caption":"Metta Center for Nonviolence"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wagingnonviolence","https:\/\/x.com\/wagingnv","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wagingnv\/"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/#\/schema\/person\/c8efc703e5bedc5da89ca6fbf9d53413","name":"The Metta Center Team","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/06cbf5c5b11e99a14fb6fb03748f1acda0df3fc72e7f7b830cf9676098d8248b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/06cbf5c5b11e99a14fb6fb03748f1acda0df3fc72e7f7b830cf9676098d8248b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/06cbf5c5b11e99a14fb6fb03748f1acda0df3fc72e7f7b830cf9676098d8248b?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"The Metta Center Team"},"url":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/author\/mettacenter\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/515"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51810"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51838,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51810\/revisions\/51838"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51810"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=51810"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=51810"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wagingnonviolence.org\/metta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=51810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
