2006 Season for Nonviolence - Los Angeles
Please Join Us
In Our Ninth Season!
| |
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.
Common Peace, Center for the Advancement of Nonviolence is a participant in this campaign with its Season for Nonviolence- Los Angeles (SNV-LA) program. Since its inception, SNV-LA has directly touched the lives of approximately 40,000 people with the message of nonviolence. Common Peace’s SNV-LA campaign activities have resulted in more than 350 local events being sponsored through the greater Los Angeles area, and a joint collaboration with more than 250 organizations.
The 2006 theme is: "Compassionate Activism for Global Healing!" Common Peace, Center for the Advancement of Nonviolence invites community
organizations to Adopt-A-Day of the Season and take action to promote and address nonviolent alternatives to prevailing patterns of violence in the community and world,
honor local Heroes of nonviolence (see our photo album of past “Heroes”) and complete the United Nations' Pledge for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence. Common Peace is making
nonviolence resources available to the public (please see our Merchandise
section), and will host events throughout California during the 64 day campaign.
