Community Engagement Grants: Update on Agape - On Earth Peace Community Engagement Grants: Update on Agape Satyagraha Posted by Rodas Bekele on October 30, 2021 Written by Briel Slocum, Youth and Young Adult Assistant On Earth Peace uses Kingian Nonviolence as a key framework for its organizing work.
Within OEP there are multiple opportunities in which the people we work with are encouraged to learn these beliefs and then apply them within their communities and everyday life. Currently in Youth and Young Adult (YYA) peace formation, we are inviting youth and children from different areas in location and faith to be young stewards and strive to promote social justice. Young leaders arise in youth groups and clubs all the time.
On Earth Peace aids towards further developing ideas and helping youth to execute leadership in a nonviolent way. For many youth, exploring justice areas can be something brand new and needs a lot of careful planning and recognition that there are layers when striving towards change. It is my job as the YYA intern to talk to youth groups so the work that is produced truly helps the community and does not harm.
Caption: Two people are presenting a posterboard in a room. Right now, there are three groups we are working with in an effort to serve a community of people. All projects hold a different purpose and are reaching different parts of their journey.
With help from webinars and a grant of $500 these groups are taking off in research, planning and implementing the community engagement projects they are passionate to offer. Currently, we have a group working on a community garden and a group working on ways to encourage and educate children to be more vocal on racial justice and advocacy within their school district.
A third project that is going on for our Community Engagement Grant is a project with a group called Agape Satyagraha in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This group is one of the groups that are meeting in person and are currently able to work on site. They have multiple focuses in the work they are doing in the community and for the development of children and young adults in the Agape Satyagraha program.
Earlier in the year, they did work regarding racial justice and created a social justice library in the church for the community. This project was expressed through inclusion of diverse books, children’s stories and murals painted around the community for visual effects.
They then began a food insecurity project in which friendly cook offs were held, multiple presentations on the importance for healthy meals were given and work was done at local mini farmers market, which is located down the street from the church. Recently the group decided from now leading into the new year they want to focus on Children’s Justice. This has been a pleasant process of agreeing children are deeply important to everyone.
The group has identified five things they would like to do with this project. Those ideas were then considered and spread out; placed in bigger subcategories. Currently, people are answering specific questions related to a chosen focus area to help lead the process of what needs to be considered for implementing different areas of focus.
After this information gathering stage, presentations will be given and the three that are voted upon will be put into practice over the course of several months. This group takes care to learn strategies from Kingian Nonviolence and apply it in their organizing work. This is just the thing we are hoping to cultivate in young Peacemakers.

NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
