Campaign Nonviolence
Building a Culture of Peace
Campaign Nonviolence is a long-term movement to
mainstream nonviolence and to foster a culture of
peace free from war, poverty, the climate crisis, and
the epidemic of violence. Campaign Nonviolence
invites us to:
• Practice nonviolence toward ourselves, toward all
others, and toward a world longing for peace,
economic justice, environmental healing, and
effective nonviolent solutions
• Explore, study, and unleash the principles and
methods of nonviolence in our lives, our
communities, and our societies
• Connect the dots and join forces in the long-term
struggle to abolish war, end poverty, reverse the
climate crisis, and take a stand against all violence
and for a culture of nonviolent options, and
• Discover and deepen the power of nonviolence,
including the vision and tools for nonviolent
change that Mohandas Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., and many other people and movements
have activated for social and personal
transformation.
Campaign Nonviolence launched this long-term
movement September 21-27, 2014 with 238 actions in
all fifty states. Marches, rallies, vigils, prayer services,
fasts and festivals took place over seven days in
September. Building on this national mobilization,
Campaign Nonviolence is inviting people everywhere
to study nonviolence, practice nonviolence, and take
nonviolent action September 21-27, 2015!
