Honor MLK by taking action for justice and peace today.

Producing good journalism in a conflict zone comes with many challenges. But changing the narrative is important to depolarize a society. Peacebuilders @CRbuildpeace support indie journalists on both sides in #NagornoKarabakh. @JCohen_CR on the podcast: bit.ly/3RT0mIB

The Paris Peace Forum was a powerful event that brought 3,000 people who work for peace together to reimagine a world where we solve conflicts nonviolently. So glad to be part of it. Are we going to allow armed groups to control the lives of so many people?

"Today as we speak, we consider (…) that we have 175 million people living in areas either under the direct control of armed groups or whose lives are daily affected by the behaviour of armed groups " @DeletrozAlain, Director General, Geneva call #ParisPeaceForum2023 Watch…

You know journalism is under threat in Modi's India, but it's worse than you think. While some continue to report with integrity, the mainstream news media have become "stenographers of the state," according to writer @suchitrav. Listen now: bit.ly/3MXIlaL #GodiMedia

Cynthia Smith (@designother90) created the exhibition Designing Peace for the @cooperhewitt museum. This week on the podcast we ask: How can we design for peace? bit.ly/3Mi1zqS Pictured: Teeter-Totter Wall by Collectivo Chopeke and Rael San Fratello.


There are no winners in this horrific situation.

'We want you to win' says the UK Prime Minister when meeting Netanyahu. Even someone with the most primitive understanding of the conflict would know that there is no way to 'win' this conflict militarily. And that type of rhetoric is not only unhelpful, it will stoke violence.

I feel sick at the thought of what is to come in the next few days. Words fail me. I can't concentrate, nor can I distract myself. Palestinians and Israelis deserve better leaders. The world needs better leaders.
