(ca 1977); 8 1/2 x 4; pp. [4]; light-blue stock, printed in black; illustrated with two photographs; mild creases to margins; very good or better condition.The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) was an extension of the Subcommittee on Nonviolence of the Peace Action Program, the latter established in 1962, at the first Peace Institute, and was dedicated to conflict-resolution without resorting to violence. It would later become known as Quaker Project on Community Conflict. The first AVP workshop was developed in 1975, after a group of prisoners from Green Haven Correctional Facility - a maximum security prison in New York - contacted local Quakers in an attempt to deal with the everyday violence in their lives. The pamphlet presented a short history, goals, and ideas of the project.
