Season for Nonviolence

A Season for Nonviolence, January 30 - April 4, 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 & Mission

The purpose of this program is to help raise the awareness of the nonviolent means and ways of living as expressed by visionary leaders such as Gandhi and Dr. King

Our mission is to provide resource material for the learning, study and application of these principles for individuals and families
