DFN is offering our well-received, highly interactive mini-course: Political Violence Prevention 101 (PVP101) again this month in a slightly different format! 

Led by Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, Senior Advisor to DFN’s Political Violence Working Group and Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, PVP101 is designed for funders who are just beginning to explore supporting political violence prevention work, and for current funders in the space who would like a refresh on the latest data, trends, and strategies.

During two 2-hour sessions, we will use case studies and discussions to understand the upsurge in targeted and political violence afflicting our country. We will discuss the scope and scale of the problem, gain an understanding of who is being targeted and why, and examine the effects violence is having on our democratic systems. Most importantly, we will investigate what strategies philanthropists can employ to play a part in stopping this scourge. 

PVP101 will take place on October 29 and 31 from 12-2pm ET/9-11am PT each day. If you would like to participate, please email Carly at carly@thirdplateau.com. Registration is $100, and open to DFN members and non-member funders. 

*The registration fee is creditable toward a participant’s DFN Political Violence Working Group membership contributions. Please email Carly Straus Chan (carly@thirdplateau.com) if you have any questions about becoming a PVWG member or the status of your current PVWG membership.
