Are we headed toward civil war here in the United States?   That’s the question renowned #peacebuilder John Paul Lederach is asked with increasing frequency. In an op-ed in The Washington Post, he draws forward lessons and stories from his newly released “Pocket Guide for Facing Down a Civil War,” Dr. Lederach says “the best way to end a civil war is to stop it before it happens.” From his work in conflict zones around the world, Dr. Lederach shares inspiring stories of people around the world who have defied violence and pursued peace.   As America faces deepening divides, political violence, and #polarization, everyday people may be asking themselves what role they play in breaking the cycles of violence. Indeed, everyday people's courage, relationships, and humanity are the key to bridging divides and choosing a different path forward.   This is a #MustRead for anyone committed to peace. Please help share it far and wide.   Op-ed: https://lnkd.in/egr3TwNk    Pocket guide: https://lnkd.in/gH2FNyiV
