@chicagosmayor @GovPritzker We’re constantly astonished by the amount and degree of ignorance. How can we help?

Our "Speaking Peace" program was introduced to Chicago schools in early 2017. We're pleased to share this just-published white paper that describes what we do and what we've learned about teaching peace and nonviolence to elementary school students. https://t.co/9g6K81Fmod

@JillFilipovic While we appreciate all our donors, several of our most generous supporters insist on anonymity. There are lots of reasons they want to keep things on the “down low,” but generally they’re people who don’t need or want accolades.
