THE SEASON FOR NONVIOLENCE

64 DAILY PRACTICES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The Season for Nonviolence is a movement that seeks to bring people together to promote peace and nonviolence in their communities. It was established by Arun Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, as a way to honor the legacies of his grandfather and Martin Luther King Jr. The Season runs for 64 days between January 30, the day of Gandhi's assassination, and April 4, the day of King's assassination.

During the Season, participants practice a new principle of peace and nonviolence each day. These principles are based on the teachings of Gandhi and King, and they encourage people to act with compassion, kindness, and consideration. The goal is to inspire individuals and communities to make daily nonviolent choices and actions, which can create a culture of peace and nonviolence over time.
The Season has grown significantly since its inception in 1998, and it now has participants in 900 cities across 67 countries. Schools, organizations, and individuals all participate in the Season by organizing events, promoting nonviolence, and spreading awareness about the power of peaceful actions.

​The Season for Nonviolence is an important educational and media opportunity that brings people together to envision and create a culture of peace and nonviolence, one day at a time. It highlights the idea that each of us can be a force for peace and nonviolence in our daily lives, and that every choice and action we make can have a positive impact on our communities and the world.
