Cross-posting this invitation to participate in Nonviolence Action Days (source):
From September 21 to October 2, communities around the world will reflect, educate, and act for nonviolent solutions. If you are already organizing a gathering, training, vigil, workshop, community project, campaign, or public action during those dates, register your action with us. You do not need to create something new for Action Days. Bring the work you are already doing into the global mobilization.
Still working out what your action could look like? You can find some ideas for inspiration in our toolkit or longer guide…
Help spread the call
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and help us make Action Days visible beyond your own community. Share the campaign with your networks, tag us when you post about your plans, and invite @campaignnv as a collaborator on Instagram throughout Action Days posts where it makes sense. If you work with other organizers, organizations, schools, faith communities, or local groups, bring them into the call too.
With solidarity,
Layal, Rivera & the Pace e Bene staff
MORE ON NONVIOLENCE
25 years after 9/11, peace still eludes us
In this cross-post from the National Catholic Reporter, John Stowe and Charlene Howard reflect on the last 25 years and renew their commitment to promoting nonviolence and human dignity.
Weekend Read: Strategic Signs for Protests
Picketing is a staple of nonviolent action in the United States. At intersections, along busy streets, on highway overpasses, small to midsized groups of people scrawl a message on cardboard in sharpie. Take time this weekend to consider a messaging strategy for such signs.
Peace through Weakness
Peace through strength is a foreign policy doctrine that calls for military superiority to deter aggression, which the Trump Administration now brazenly proclaims using hostile, threatening rhetoric by leaders loudly self-defining as Christian. Let us instead lift up Jesus and his words and actions in the face of threats of violence and acts of war.
