"Only the brave men and women can bring peace to the world, not by practicing war but by practicing nonviolence." — Amit Ray
The #SeasonForNonviolence encompasses the 64 calendar days between the commemorative dates of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s. It is a national educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to demonstrating that non-violence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities.
During this year's Season for Nonviolence, our Wildcats are commited to promoting an empowered, nonviolent world.
