11 a.m., July 12, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we discuss Our Experience Participating in Nonviolent Civil Disobedience.
\nIs marching against the state regime waving signs enough of a response to attacks on democracy and the rule of law?
\nIn person, Mitch Diamond and Ginny Gelczis discuss their anti-war and nonviolent civil disobedient activism that began with their second date.
\nThey describe how Nonviolent Civil Disobedience (NVCD) works,
\nwhat they experienced when they risked arrest
\n(and were arrested), and the value of their actions and NVCD in general.
\nFollowing the live lecture, you can ask questions and add short responses.<\/p>\n

Diamond received a BA in biology with a focus on behavioral and evolutionary biology. He\u2019s given talks to many of the atheist and freethinker groups in Northern California and has appeared on podcasts including The Atheist Experience with Tracie Harris.<\/p>\n
