Gandhi-King Principles of Nonviolence “At the center of nonviolence is the principle of love”. -M L King Jr.

- Nonviolence means to honor the inherent worth of every human being. We naturally seek to understand each other, build friendship and community.
- Nonviolence means believing that our lives are linked together, that what we do impacts the lives of everyone we encounter, that we are accountable to one another. Nonviolence means we trust one another and work toward the common good.
- Nonviolence means dedicating ourselves to the fundamental rights of every human being (justice, equity, equality).
- Nonviolence is courageously choosing to practice compassion with our adversaries. We oppose injustice, not people.
- Nonviolence means recognizing love as the power of the human spirit to triumph over injustice, inequity, suffering, as we embark on a hero’s journey of personal-social change.

Pledge of Nonviolence

Making peace must start with me. I commit myself to become a nonviolent and peaceable person.
To Respect Myself and Others
To respect myself, to affirm others and to avoid uncaring criticism, hateful words, physical attacks and self destructive behavior..
To Communicate Better
To share my feelings honestly, to look for safe ways to talk and act when I'm angry, and to work at solving problems peacefully.
To Listen
To listen carefully to one another, especially those who disagree with me, and to consider others' feelings and needs rather than insist on having my own way.
To Forgive
To apologize and make amends when I have hurt another, to forgive others, and to keep from holding grudges.
To Respect Nature
To treat the environment and all living things,
including my pets, with respect and care.
To Play Creatively
To select entertainment and toys that support our family's values and to avoid entertainment that makes violence look exciting, funny or acceptable.
To Be Courageous
To challenge violence in all its forms whenever I encounter it, whether at home, at school, at work, or in the community, and to stand with others who are treated unfairly.
Eliminating violence, one person at a time, starting with me.
