THE 2023 GANDHI KING SEASON
We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time. This is how each of us, in our own way, moves the world toward peace through daily nonviolent choices and actions at home, at school, in the workplace, and community. This is the Season for Nonviolence.
The Gandhi King Season for Nonviolence commences on January 30. It marks the 64 calendar days between the memorial anniversary of the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4. This annual campaign was co-founded by Dr. Arun Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson, and The Association for Global New Thought. Individuals, schools, and organizations in 900 cities in 67 countries have participated since the campaign began in 1998.
The objective is to create an awareness of nonviolent principles and practice as a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and communities. It is, therefore, the purpose of the Season and the following 64 Daily Practices each day to educate and inspire individuals and organizations to actively seek nonviolent means to empower themselves and others to co-exist in peace and prosper together in community.
Below are links to each of the 64 Days in the Season for Nonviolence, with dates and themes for each day. Please share with your communities.
