#NoWar2022 Session: Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP) with John Reuwer and Charles Johnson

This session explored Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP), a nonviolent safety model emergent in recent decades. Communities worldwide suffering from violence in spite of the alleged protection of armed police and military forces are seeking alternatives. Many envision UCP replacing armed protection altogether – but how exactly does it work? What are its strengths and limitations? We discussed methods used in South Sudan, the U.S., and beyond to explore this grassroots, weaponless safety model.
