There is escalating concern about the threat of political violence around the United States election in 2020. Research on international violence and peacebuilding reveal that a great deal can be done to prevent (and, if necessary, de-escalate) violence and increase resilience — if leaders with influence and resources are ready to face these challenges squarely now. This guide is designed to help local place-based funders invest quickly in leaders and organizations who’ve been preparing for this moment for years.
This guidance is based on the report “Building U.S. Resilience to Political Violence: A (Globally-Informed) Framework for Analysis and Action” by Dr. Nichole Argo Ben Itzhak, Rachel Brown, Heather Hurlburt, Laura Livingston, and Samantha Owens.
