Upcoming Events

With the release of her new book Common Ground, Eileen will be touring the country to talk about how ordinary people can build powerful movements for change when they find common ground and take action together. Invite some friends to come listen, join the conversation, and connect with others in your community.

To make the most of this travel, Eileen is also offering workshops on the themes of the book and trainings in peacekeeping skills or nonviolent strategies for change upon request. You can read more about her speaking here. Reach out through Eileen’s Contact page if you want to schedule an event in your region.
