Hello all,<br><br>If you are a fan of NonViolent Communication and would love to have a fun and accessible animation that explains it to others (like the <a href="http://www.storyofstuff.com/">Story of Stuff</a>), please vote for this project below. Thanks!<br>
<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><br><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;"><b><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" color="#ff0000">Friends, supporters, and practitioners of NVC, can you imagine a world where millions more people understand empathy as we do, and practice NVC?</font></b><br>
<p>Here's an opportunity to contribute to the possibility of a web-based NVC<br>animation video that could potentially reach many millions of people. This<br>is based on voting for proposals, so you can directly affect this, and also<br>
invite others to vote. <b><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" color="#ff0000">Voting ends DECEMBER 1st so if you choose to support, please act quickly.</font></b></p><p>(Currently, we are number 1 in our category (Peace and Non-Violence), but barely holding on to being in the top 20 over all. Only 300 people giving 3 votes each could push us in to the top spot.) <br>
<b><font size="6">HOW TO VOTE:</font></b><br><br>1. Please, follow this link <<a href="http://youtopia.uservoice.com/users/new" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176);" target="_blank">http://youtopia.uservoice.com/users/new</a>> to<br>
sign up by filling the boxes, choosing a password, accepting the terms and conditions and<br>clicking on "sign up". This must be done in order to cast votes.<br><br>2. You will be sent a confirmation email to the address you submitted.<br>
Reply to that and you are now all set to vote!<br><br>3. Go to <<a href="http://youtopia.uservoice.com/pages/33750-peace-non-violence" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176);" target="_blank">http://youtopia.uservoice.com/pages/33750-peace-non-violence</a>>. If<br>
you like what you read, you can give "Conscious Communication for Change" up<br>to three votes!<br><br>4. Since this grant is in stiff competition, would you check inside and<br>see if you have willingness to take an extra moment to <b>forward this message<br>
to your NVC friends</b>? Any lists that you are a member of that you would be<br>willing to send this to? Anyone else you imagine would be excited to support<br>this?</p><p>Thanks for your support.</p><p>Jared Finkelstein, François Beausoleil<br>
</p><p>Conscious Communication for Change</p>MORE DETAILS:<br><br>I am excited to let you know that Jared Finkelstein, a participant in our<br>leadership program, is partnering with Francois Beausoleil, a graduate of<br>
the leadership program, assistant, then co-trainer, and certified trainer. <br>They are applying for a grant from Free Range Studios to produce<br>a web-based animation teaching viewers the concepts and skills of NVC in the<br>
style of Free Range Studios highly successful Story of Stuff.<br><<a href="http://www.storyofstuff.com/" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176);" target="_blank">http://www.storyofstuff.com/</a>> This can be an amazing opportunity to bring<br>
NVC virally to more people, and all you are asked to do it click and vote<br>(instructions at the end of this email).<br><br>Just like the Empathy Gap voting that the NVC community got mobilized to<br>support a year ago, we are hoping that many people will pass this along and<br>
many votes will be cast in this way. Since this grant is based on voting,<br>without your vote and support it's unlikely to succeed.<br><br>So, if you like this idea, please mobilize all the lists you mobilized last<br>
year. We got in top in our category last time, and that power can possibly<br>make this happen.<br><br>The grant proposal looks like this, and can be found in the Peace and<br>Non-Violence category.<br><br>Conscious Communication for Change<br>
<br>BayNVC - Non-Profit - <a href="http://www.baynvc.org/" style="color: rgb(42, 93, 176);" target="_blank">www.baynvc.org</a> <br><br>Can you imagine a world in which everyone matters and people have the skills<br>for making peace? Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the practice informing<br>
this vision, nurtures responsibility for our choices and feelings, and the<br>capacity to meet others with empathy. Mutual understanding and care for our<br>shared human needs can then provide a foundation for connecting across our<br>
differences to resolve conflicts with ease. Collaborating with Free Range<br>can increase visibility for the tools and consciousness of NVC, allowing<br>many more people to wake up, transform their habitual responses to life, and<br>
contribute to a world that works for all.</span></span>
