A "Chomskyan" Endorsement

Prof. Noam Chomsky -- https://chomsky.info/bios/

I have been most impressed with the initiatives of Moji Agha, especially as he has been developing the comprehensive [Intersectional] Circles Movement project [a.k.a. Circles of Nonviolence/Community Collaboratives Initiative] and with their efforts to engage people to undertake the tasks that must be addressed with dedication and commitment if there are to be hopes of decent survival. And I am pleased to endorse these very valuable policies and actions.

Special Endorsements

1- Prof. Cornel West -- http://cornelwest.com/bio.html

Dear Moji, 

Your work sounds good my dear brother! I do support you and your projects in all forms, including the "Intersectional Circles (IC)" Initiative.  Courageous stand, my brother! Stay strong! (Jan. 18, 2017) 

2- Prof. Richard Falk  >>> Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony (May 25, 2023)

It gives me great satisfaction to endorse Moji Agha’s visionary PATH (Peace and Truth Heals) initiative. Such deeply sourced spiritually guided love, for the healing of all, gives us glimmers of hope at a time when dark skies hover over the destinies of humanity. 

Brother Moji's fearless advocacy of "civility activism" calls upon persons of conscience to become energetic, even passionate, in the struggle against systemic injustice, so that we are empowered to protect natural and human habitats, especially with a consciousness that embodies deep nonviolent commitments to peace-building and truth-telling. 

We really need PATH to become the path!  

Richard Falk (Jan. 14, 2024)

3- Prof. Erica Chenoweth -- https://www.ericachenoweth.com/

Dear Moji, 

Here is my endorsement for your "Circles of Nonviolence" initiative: 

At no time in recorded history has the world been more prepared to embrace nonviolence. I am eager to see the emergence of a "movement of movements" that embraces nonviolent methods of global change in a spirit of collaboration and community. The Circles of Nonviolence 

[now called the Intersectional Circles or Chambers of Compassion] Initiative certainly embodies these ideals and provides a useful platform for uniting communities in and through nonviolence. 

Best wishes, 

Erica

4- Prof. Stanley Krippner >>> Lifetime Achievement Award News (Aug. 3, 2013)

It is my pleasure to write this statement of strong endorsement. 

In the 1990s I was a senior member of Moji Agha's doctoral dissertation committee, and now I am one of his friends. 

Moji has great insights into many of the crises of our troubled times, so I have been following his tireless advocacy of human rights, social justice, and environmental activism, most recently through the Peace and Truth Heals (PATH) initiative, which is one of the many innovative projects he has founded, including the Intersectional Circles Movement of Movements. Both of these initiatives try to remedy the extreme injustices that haunt and threaten life in the 21st century. 

Moji advocates using nonviolent methods to pursue such laudable goals, a welcome departure from the blatant use of propaganda, military force, and armed struggle that characterize far too many interventions today, even those that espouse worthwhile agendas. 

Albert Schweitzer, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Mohammad Mossadegh (of Iran), and others, have demonstrated the effectiveness of nonviolent procedures and strategies. To do otherwise would simply increase the miasma of agony, alienation, and terror that already saturates far too many contemporary scenarios. 

This is why I gladly endorse what Moji Agha has been doing.
