The CSRA Peace Alliance has a table at Augusta Pride on June 25. It needs volunteers from 11AM to 6PM. For more details, visit the meetup.com event.

We now have dates and a location for The CSRA Class of Non-Violence.

We’ve reserved Study Room C at the Headquarters Library at 823 Telfair St, Augusta, GA, 30901. Each class begins at 6:30 pm and ends at 8:30 pm on the first and third Tuesdays of June, July, August and September. Study Room C is on the 2nd floor, behind the Reference Desk.

There is no attendance requirement, so even if you can only make one session, you’re welcome to come. Reading the suggested readings for each lesson is recommended but not mandatory.

RSVPs are recommended but not mandatory. There is limited space, and if it becomes necessary, we’d need to look for an alternate venue. RSVP requires creation of a free account at Meetup.com.
