A SEASON FOR NONVIOLENCE:(Jan 30-April 4)
- 15 years ago
A SEASON FOR NONVIOLENCE:
JANUARY 30--APRIL 4
A Season for Nonviolence
is an annual 64-day educational, media
and grassroots campaign that brings to life the principles and practice
of nonviolence as a powerful way to heal, transform and empower
individuals and communities
The period spans the 64 days between the anniversaries of the deaths of
Mohandas K. Gandhi on January 30 and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4.
A Season for Nonviolence
was the idea of Arun and Sunanda Gandhi, co-founders of the
M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence
, now located at the University of Rochester, Rochester NY.
The purpose of the
Season is to focus education and community action on attaining peace
and justice in the spirit of Gandhi and King. The
Season teaches us that every person can move
the world forward in the direction of peace through his or her daily nonviolent choices and actions.
Through media attention, the
Season recognizes and celebrates those who are using
nonviolence to build communities that honor the dignity and worth of every human being.
To participate, you can take even small steps that will promote peace within yourself, in your
interactions with others, or within the community or world.
As an individual or group:
There is much you can do to increase the peace in your own life,
family, neighborhood and community.
As a leader in government:
By officially promoting A Season for Nonviolence, you will set
in motion a chain of events that will improve the quality of life in your community for years to
come
Small changes ripple out to affect your whole organization and
community. As Gandhi said, "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
