Nonviolence

Actions, Policies, Principles, and Unarmed Civilian Protection

The use of violence to address conflict is fertilizer for more violence in the future. We support nonviolent principles and practices to reduce and eliminate violence as an acceptable action. Our knowledge and use of nonviolence to address complex issues and conflicting viewpoints needs ongoing study, reflection, and practice.
