Be a Good Stranger

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) or Compassionate Communication is a method of connecting with others in a structured way that can improve our interactions, which brings forth greater compassion and peace. This is the final week of our NVC series where we will be discussing requests and how they differ from demands and wishes. We will demonstrate how clear, positive requests can ensure that we are understood and that our needs and the needs of those around us are met.

The National Bail Out collective coordinates the Mama’s Day Bail Outs, where they bail out as many Black Mamas and caregivers as they can so Mother’s Day can be spent with their families where they belong! The National Bail Out collective provides fellowship and employment opportunities for those bailed out to support their growth and create a national community of leaders who have experienced incarceration. They also work with groups across the country to support ongoing bail reform efforts and create resources for organizers and advocates interested in ending pretrial detention.

Have you ever been amazed by the interconnections of our world and relationships?
