Executive Director, United Religions Initiative; Senior Ashoka Fellow

One candlelight vigil. One online forum about peace. One march for justice. These things are full of love and intention, but they are vacuous on their own. Changing the world does not happen through an individual act. Individual transformation is necessary but not sufficient for societal change. True social healing takes collective effort, where our strengths and insights multiply for meaningful change. Thanks to URI (United Religions Initiative), more than 230,000 interfaith peacemakers participate in Cooperation Circles around the globe. Many are committing themselves to interrupt hate speech and build community and safe spaces for those who are being oppressed by religiously motivated violence. If this intrigues or resonates with you, join URI as an individual member (it’s free!) and find a local Cooperation Circle, where you can connect with others who are taking action on things that matter. No one can or is meant to do this work alone. It’s essential that we don’t. Click the link to learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02bL_tZ0 #URI #Interfaith #Community #Together #Peace
