A Season for Nonviolence is a
national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots
campaign dedicated to demonstrating that nonviolence
is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower
our lives and our communities. Inspired by the 50th
and 30th memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi
and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this international
event honors their vision for an empowered, nonviolent
world.
Purpose Statement
- Our purpose is to create an awareness of nonviolent principles and practices as
a powerful way to heal, transform and empower our lives and communities.
- Through an educational and community action campaign, we are honoring
those who are using nonviolence to build a community that honors the dignity
and worth of every human being.
- We are demonstrating that every person can move the world in the direction
of peace through their daily nonviolent choice and action.
