This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A safe community requires an extension of empathy and willingness to act courageously on behalf of those we love AND those with which we perceive to share very little.

As a community development and violence prevention activist, speaker and educator, Daryl has traveled throughout North America, East Asia, Europe, Iraq, and Australia speaking to public, private and military organizations. Daryl believes a safe community requires an extension of empathy and willingness to act courageously on behalf of those we love and those with which we perceive to share very little.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
