BayNVC: Reducing Financial Barriers to Training in Nonviolence
BayNVC has a commitment to reducing financial barriers to training in Nonviolence for members of marginalized communities.
BayNVC acknowledges that people have complex identities and that we are, together, navigating language across many different backgrounds and experiences. When we say “people who have been marginalized” here we are referring to:
People with disabilities or non-dominant communication styles
People who, though in the global majority, are under-represented in positions of institutional power because of racialized discrimination and its direct and indirect impacts
People who live and love outside the dominant norms of cis-gendered, binary, straight, monogamous relationships to sexuality and gender
People whose access to money and resources are restricted through intergenerational poverty and/or trauma
People without U.S. citizenship status, who are directly affected by U.S. foreign and domestic policy, including the many indigenous people of these lands
