This summer I am working remotely for the Albert Einstein Institution as an IGL Oslo Scholar. I am working for Jamila Raqib, the executive director of the institution who was an Oslo Freedom Forum Fellow. The Albert Einstein Institution works to advance the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action. Through educational materials such as Dr. Gene Sharp’s book, “From Dictatorship to Democracy”, the institution seeks to support the liberation of people all over the world.
Despite remaining in Boston with occasional meetings with director Jamila, the organization's work is inherently global. The Albert Einstein Institution receives hundreds of requests from organizers and leaders asking for copies of our books, translations of our work, and support in their resistance against oppressive regimes.
