A
Season for Nonviolence is a global grassroots campaign dedicated to raising awareness
about the healing and transforming power of nonviolence. This 64-day event began
in 1997 for the occasion of the 50th and 30th memorial anniversaries of Mahatma
Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It has grown into an important educational
and media opportunity to bring communities together, empowering them to envision
and help create a nonviolent world, one heart and one day at a time.
Throughout
the 64-day campaign, events and activities for peace and nonviolence take place
all around the world, highlighting existing peacebuilding initiatives and inspiring
new year-round activities for a more peaceful, nonviolent, just and sustainable
world.
