This discussion showed the need and desire of over 100 people who showed up that day for a nonviolent civil resistance movement to take hold, and maybe even start right here in Northwest Ohio. The room was diverse in age, ethnicity, and background, as I knew many in the room, and as stated by Ferner, in his talk that day, this diversity is a critical element to a \u201csuccessful\u201d nonviolent movement\/organization. So, it looks like we are on the right path. Can we keep it going?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPoniendo el cuerpo en la l\u00ednea,\u201d en la Biblioteca P\u00fablica de Sylvania,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>s\u00e1bado 10 de enero de 2026, organizado por AMP Toledo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Por la Dra.

Esta discusi\u00f3n demostr\u00f3 la necesidad y el deseo de las m\u00e1s de 100 personas que asistieron ese d\u00eda, de que un movimiento de resistencia civil, no violenta, se consolide, y quiz\u00e1s incluso comience aqu\u00ed mismo en el noroeste de Ohio.
