Season for Nonviolence

Season for Nonviolence
Carrying forth the timeless principles of nonviolent social change.-Unity North Atlanta Church
Joint Principles of Non-Violence
Nonviolence means honoring the dignity and inherent worth of every human being.
Nonviolence means believing that our lives are linked together, that what we do impacts the lives of other people. Therefore, we are responsible to and for one another.
Nonviolence means dedicating ourselves to guaranteeing the fundamental rights of every human being (justice, equity, equality). It means using our talents to empower others as well as ourselves.
Nonviolence means recognizing love as the power of the human spirit to triumph over injustice, social inequity, suffering. This is the hero's journey.

Days 1-23 focus on Personal change. Nonviolence begins by learning how to be less violent and more compassionate with ourselves. We learn by building the courage to speak and act with a respect, honor and reverence for our own being.
Days 24-46 focus on Interpersonal change. In order to create a peaceful world, we must learn to practice nonviolence with one another in our day-to-day interactions.
Days 47-64 focus on Community. Nonviolence challenges us to stand for Truth by taking action that honors the dignity and worth of every human being.
