New video by/about the Nonviolent Peaceforce



One of the interesting things about the nonviolent peaceforce is that they recruit from around the world and have half, or it seems often more, people of color on their teams. Frustratingly this video does not mention this, or how this changes the dynamics of accompaniment. Rather less surprisingly they also don't mention the recent kidnapping of one of their (person of color) team members in Mindanao. Umar Jaleel was kindapped from February to June of 2009.

Thanks for pointing to the video, Sara, and to our global recruitment efforts. We're glad the cross-cultural and multi-ethnic nature of the organization comes through.
