Starting April 14th until September, the Alliance for Peacebuilding and the U.S. Peace, Justice, and Democracy Working Group are hosting a series of weekly webinars, Preventing and Reducing Conflict and Instability in the United States: Shaping What Comes Next, with leading peacebuilding and conflict prevention experts, donors, and policymakers from across the country.
