1/ When I say I work in "peacebuilding", I often get asked what is "peacebuilding"? For #InternationalDayOfPeace , I thought it'd be appropriate to give examples of one of the strategies @afsc_org has used to build peace throughout it's 101-year history. #ThisIsPeacebuilding 
2/ Today, I want to talk about @afsc_org strategy of quiet support of non-violent social movements. For instance, throughout the civil rights movement, the similarity of social ideals of MLK & AFSC led them to work on the same side of racial issues. #ThisIsPeacebuilding
3/ In 1959, @afsc_org sponsored MLK's visit to India – a pilgrimage to the places associated with Gandhi. AFSC representative, James Bristol, accompanied him throughout. He said MLK's visit & the reception he received confirmed MLK's nonviolent convictions. #ThisIsPeacebuilding
