We're not going to end violence by telling people that it's morally wrong, says Jamila Raqib, executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution. Instead, we must find alternative ways to conduct conflict that are equally powerful and effective. Raqib promotes nonviolent resistance to people living under tyranny -- and there's a lot more to it than street protests. She shares encouraging examples of creative strategies that have led to change around the world and a message of hope for a future without armed conflict. "The greatest hope for humanity lies not in condemning violence but in making violence obsolete," Raqib says.

The secret to effective nonviolent resistance

Making violence obsolete is possible through refining nonviolent action, just as modern technology outmoded ancient warfare tools.

Nonviolent action, beyond protests, strategically undermines power by targeting its sources, such as military and economic systems.

Creative global nonviolent actions, like Guatemala’s mass protests and strategic strikes, effectively coerced corrupt leaders to resign.
