The 5-Day Read is a social justice reading challenge hosted by Ohio Nonviolence Week. You will receive reading prompts in your email inbox each day from October 2 until October 6. The material allows you to learn about and engage in the principles of nonviolence and how the community can stand in solidarity to speak up against violence. Email mwrite@mvywca.org to sign up for the 5-Day Read. Visit ohiononviolenceweek.org for more information and plan to join us for a Panel Discussion about the readings on Friday, October 7 at 12 PM at YWCA, 25 W. Rayen Ave., Youngstown.
