The Albert Einstein Institution is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Gene Sharp
in 1983 to advance the study and use of strategic nonviolent action in conflict.

We are committed to the defense of freedom, democracy, and the reduction of political
violence through the use of nonviolent action. Our goals are to understand the dynamics
of nonviolent action in conflicts, to explore its policy potential, and to communicate this
through print and other media, translations, conferences, consultations, and workshops.
