It asks us to look to those around us to gather together to create grounded, thoughtful community responses. It builds on our connections and caring rather than looking at solutions that rely only on separation and disconnections from our communities. It invites us to involve even those who harm us as potential allies in stopping that harm and as active partners in deeply changing attitudes and behaviors towards a solution to violence. It expands the idea of violence and its solutions from that between individuals to one that includes communities – both close and intimate communities and the broader communities of which we are a part. " (from the Introduction). The Creative Interventions Team (based in Oakland, California) includes partners from Asian Women's Shelter, La Clinica de la Raza, Narika & Shimtuh, organisations which are working hard to transform on-the-ground work into useful tools for community-based violence intervention. This pre-release version (06.2012) is available for public use – Final version is forthcoming.
