February Newsletter
The Center for Nonviolence was founded on the belief that love is a calling; one that extends well beyond ourselves; a calling that is rooted in a deep understanding of care, compassion, and accountability as acts of love, not only love for those closest to us but for those we have been taught to fear and reject.
January Newsletter
Dr. King once said, “We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself. We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will persuade with our acts.” Far from being ephemeral and amorphous, nonviolence has shape and form.
