My Life, after Hate
Training overview
As the Alt-Right strengthens in America, one of their strategies is visiting and protesting at college campuses; fertile recruitment grounds for students feeling lost, afraid and uncertain about their future. Protests advocating for white separation and against LGBT and transgender rights, liberalism and feminism, will likely be met with counter protest. Charlottesville teaches us that fighting violence with violence will only create more human suffering, while perpetuating more violence. History, and the world’s greatest peace warriors King and Gandhi, for example instruct us to fight hate and fear in a different manner.
No one understands hate and fear like Arno, and no one is better equipped to teach us what to do when hate comes to town. In Arno’s dynamic, interactive and powerful workshops, he talks to student leaders, staff, administration, faculty, and communications personnel, about what to do and say, and what NOT to do and say, when the Alt-Right comes on campus. Additionally, he offers strategies and ideas for coalition building and programming ideas, that will disarm and weaken hate groups, should they come to town. Arno only advocates for peaceful solutions, and has the experience to prove that love and forgiveness will always prevail, and that violence will never be the answer.
Key takeaways
How love and forgiveness will always prevail and that violence will never be the answer.
