Kazu Haga explores conflict and how we can talk it out… so we can change the world. Kazu dreams big. And so do I. We delve into why these conversations are so hard, and how shifts in attitude and approach - with a fierce vulnerability - may make them less confrontational and more of an invitation. Starting from personal harm we move to consider responses to larger scale harm in political divisiveness and false claims (like Trump’s about Canada), and finally environmental disaster. His latest book, Fierce Vulnerability, healing from trauma, emerging through collapse is an inspiration to anyone who wants to keep hope alive about reconciling our differences and making a difference in these dark days.
Having been mentored by Bernard Layfayette Jr. in the Martin Luther King tradition of nonviolent direct action, Kazu Haga has been active in social justice for over 25 years.
