Love the People is a three-part webinar series that will bring together storytellers who will share their experiences with community-focused responses to interpersonal and systemic violence. We will cover interpersonal violence intervention in our homes and neighborhoods, defending our demonstrations and movement spaces, and community defense in our workplaces, in sanctuary and across our communities. We will explore how to expand the concept of sanctuary and new ways to imagine community defense.

This session will define what expanding sanctuary means, how this strategy has been utilized over time to create safe and hate-free spaces for everyone, in particular, those being persecuted for their immigration status. We will share a new resource guide that has been recently launched by the USFWC and DAWI in collaboration with Urban Justice Center, where people can obtain information about their rights as worker-owners within the workplace and as individuals/families.

Starting from June 2017, Pacific Asia Resource Center (PARC) which is a member of ASEC/RIPESS-Asia based in Japan, will host a webinar series “Learning SSE from the Continents“.
