What if those who would change the world engaged in a conversation about what will replace whatever we want to tear down? What if protest included conversation? What if people who read this bravely begin talking to me and to others about it?

Mediate.com is a monthly touchstone that reminds
mediators and peace workers that there are others out
there thinking about and working on the same issues.
It is a source of community, and a place to keep your
thinking fresh. - Bill Withers, author "The Conflict
and Communication Activity Book" and "Resolving
Conflicts on the Job".
