Join Gail on Monday, January 20th for a Kingian Nonviolence training at Devonshire Cultural Center from 11:00am - 12:30pm. We will celebrate and learn about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s approach to creating a culture of peace, including:
The Six Principles and Six Steps of Kingian Nonviolence
Nonviolence During the Civil Rights Movement and Today
The Beloved Community
Gail will co-lead the training with Nathan Norman, a fellow Trustee candidate running to represent Skokie’s District 2. Both Gail and Nathan are certified Kingian Nonviolence Trainers.
Gail’s decades of leadership are fully grounded in the principles of Kingian Nonviolence. As Gail said last September at her campaign launch event,
“We are what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would call a Beloved Community — not because of Village government, but because of how we relate to one another. We have a multicultural population because of Skokie’s proximity to Chicago, a transportation network, diverse types of housing for (until recently) most incomes, varied industry and a commercial base, and excellent schools. We need Village government to ensure that we marshal all of these resources not around enclaves of exclusivity but around a vision … of an interconnected community.”
Join us as we connect and build community with Gail and Nathan, Trustee candidates that will engage and prioritize the voices of everyday Skokie citizens, while honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the world he dreamed of.
