Strategic Nonviolence Academy

The Strategic Nonviolence Academy develops powerful leaders by weaving the Soul of nonviolent discipline, the Science of strategic action, and the Art of building community power—to forge a more just and equitable world.

The Strategic Nonviolence Academy serves as a staging ground for the disciplined work of liberation. Our approach is built on the necessary link between Head, Heart, and Feet. 

To be effective and resilient, a movement needs all three working together. It needs a Head for sharp strategic analysis, a Heart sustained by both personal reflection and clear principles, and Feet to build and structure community power. A strategy is useless without a community to enact it, and a community is aimless without a clear strategy. Our programs and long-term support help you develop these integrated skills to contribute to a more just and equitable world.
