It is highly participatory and includes ritual\, exercises\, role plays\, story telling\, drawing\, discussion\, private reflection and journaling. \nThe training is composed of five modules culminating in action planning. 1. The nature of violence. 2. Active Nonviolence. 3. Nonviolent Social Change. 4. Community building. 5. Nonviolent social change planning. \nThroughout the training certain core principals are emphasized. “All are wounded and all are sacred.” “Without the support of the people\, movements cannot succeed\, and becoming violent will lose that support.” “Nonviolence is not a tactic; it is a way of life.” \nThe first module explores the nature of violence\, the forms it takes\, its prevalence in culture\, whether it is inherently part of human nature and its impact on individuals and communities. One participant noted that she had always thought of violence in terms of physical violence without considering the many other ways that violence can be inflicted. Another said that he had come to see that violence is a choice and that a person can choose a different response. \nThe second module looks at Active Nonviolence. It looks at the history of nonviolent teaching from Jesus to Gandhi to King and others. It examines stereotypes of how nonviolent individuals are viewed by society and compares those to the experience that participants have of such people. We look at the commitment and personal spiritual\ninvolvement in resistance to violence without becoming violent of those who led in the practice of active nonviolence. One participant remarked on the difference between being passive and actively interfering with violence without becoming violent: “It takes thoughtfulness and discipline.” \nThe third module examines Nonviolent Social Change. The effectiveness of non violent movements and the things that such movements have jn common. We look and the stages of development of these movements and at the roles that people can play in them. We also look closely at the things that can negatively impact these movements\nand even cause them to fail. Key factors in success were described by one member as being training\, discipline\, patience and celebrating the successes along the way- even the small ones. \nThe fourth module is on Community. The group examines the stages of evolution that communities move through. Together they look at the factors that make for strong communities. Different methods of making decisions are explored\, and practiced. The importance of community in effecting change is emphasized. The members work\ntogether to imagine their ideal community and what is needed to build and protect it. One stated that she felt the training itself had given the group the opportunity to become a true community. \nFinally in the last module the group looks at what is important in putting what has been learned into practice. The importance of being able to put yourself in the shoes of those who sees things differently than you do\, and as Gandhi says hold a piece of the truth. Then the group works together to create and select projects to work on. They begin to develop concrete plans and look at both the long term goals of the projects and the next steps. \nIf you are interested in knowing more about C.C.P. training or how to sponsor a training please contact Daniel Petersen-Snyder at dpetersensnyder@gmail.com.

Production of this missile violates the spirit and letter of the 2017 United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\, which entered into force in January 2021. \nThe wars in Ukraine\, Palestine and elsewhere have brought millions of dollars in new contracts for Raytheon weapons. Weapons and endless war are Raytheon’s business model. It’s commerce\, not defense\, and all about profit\, not security. \nNow simply called Raytheon\, it is the most profitable division of the corporate war profiteer Raytheon Technologies\, RTX.com. With its top management and largest factory in Tucson\, Raytheon employs more than 13\,000 of our Southern Arizona friends and neighbors. \nFor more than two decades\, Raytheon has hailed Tucson as the Missile Technology Capital of the World – a center for lethal innovation and cutting-edge killing for profit. From Standard Missiles to Star Wars “kill vehicles” and hypersonic glide bombs\, AMRAAMs and Javelins\, Mavericks and microwave crowd control beams\, drones\, cluster bombs and now\, nuclear-armed cruise missiles – it’s all made here\, some even sold to friends and foes of friends alike. \nhttps://www.salon.com/2018/06/27/raytheons-profits-boom-alongside-civilian-deaths-in-yemen_partner/ \nWe do not oppose those working at Raytheon.\nWe understand the need for good paying jobs in Tucson. \nWe oppose the militarism that exploits this need\, “developing” our own community at the expense of others around the world. \nSigns provided\, or bring your own. More info: (520)323-8697 or nukeresister@igc.org. \n* Parking is on the NORTH side of the Hermans Road entrance to the plant (3rd traffic light south of Valencia on Nogales Highway\, the extension of South 6th Avenue). Park on the gravel off northbound Nogales Highway\, between railroad tracks and highway\, (closer to the highway than the railroad tracks) north of Hermans Road. \nSAFETY \nThere are many cars turning off Old Nogales Highway from both directions onto Herman’s Road to go to work\, some at a pretty fast clip. People will need to carefully cross Hermans Road with the crossing light at the crosswalk in order to vigil on the south side of Hermans Road. \nAdditionally\, we should take care to not stand in the road\, and to keep our signs\, banners and flags from hanging over the road\, so we don’t create any danger to ourselves or others.

DMAFB is home to the Air Command of US SOUTHCOM which coordinates the Air Forces of the U.S. in the Caribbean and against Venezuela. \nThe sovereign nation of Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves in the world and the Trump administration is acting in service of U.S. oil corporations not the people. The proclamation from Trump that US forces kidnapped duly elected President Maduro is an unconscionable escalation and an egregious act of war.
