This event is the keynote presentation for the Houston Peace Festival.
Chris Moore-Backman resides in Chico, California, where he has just launched a project called Operation Nonviolent Life. Operation Nonviolent Life works from the premise that the building blocks of a nonviolent society are the vibrant, productive, nonviolent lives of individual men and women, and that nonviolent movements are the tapestry of such lives woven together.
Chris is a trained facilitator with the Alternatives to Violence Project and he served as staff for Nonviolent Peaceforce, an international peace team initiative. His other experiments with nonviolence have included human rights accompaniment in Colombia, war tax resistance, and car-free living. He.is currently working on a masters program exploring the nonviolence theory and practice of Martin Luther King Jr., through Lesley University, in Cambridge, MA. He has published articles and led numerous workshops on the nonviolence teaching and practice of Gandhi, as it relates to the present U.S. context. He recently designed a personal and social transformation model, The Wheel of Nonviolence.
