Awakening a Different Kind of Power
 More than putting different people in power, nonviolence is about rousing a different kind of power in people. The commercial mass media system, with its violence and vulgarity, is an obstructive force to human progress because it completely denies that power. So we create media that tell the emerging story of nonviolence culture and movements.
Our biweekly Peace Paradigm Radio show and our biannual magazine feature resources that support inner growth and offer changemaking strategies. This past fall, I spoke about the link between nonviolent media and peacebuilding at the United Nations (watch a full replay of the UN panel I was on, or hear a recording of just my talk).
Think of it as our Constructive Program approach to the media: building alternative systems is key to long-term nonviolent change. The Metta Center has other ideas about building a media system that serves humankind—see page 64 of this edition of Emergence.
Yours for a nonviolent culture fostering nonviolent power,
Michael Nagler, Founder & President
