A Season for Nonviolence

Compassionate Activism for Global Healing

January 30 - April 4

A Season for Nonviolence, January 30 - April 4, is a national 64-day educational 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.

The Season is more than a decade mature grassroots campaign growing out of the passion and creative expression of spiritual and civic-minded individuals in more than 400 communities around the globe.

Now known as the Gandhi-King-Chavez Season for Nonviolence, our vision is to promote a proactive, life enhancing awareness of nonviolent activism as demonstrated by Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Cesar E. Chavez, and other heroic voices for peace through justice.
