Practice Peace
a Call to Action

No matter the results of the November Presidential election in the United States, Donald Trump will not lose, and there will be repercussions.  

​

“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it.” Trump said [speaking of the economy should he lose], “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”       â€‹Source, The Washington Post

​

"And ya know getting them out will be a bloody story," Trump told supporters ... referencing plans for large-scale removal of undocumented immigrants.

This site has no interest in partisan politics, 
but rather the common enemy to us all  - violence. 


I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent - Mahatma Gandhi
 

Yet violence has become an accepted political strategy and we are experiencing the evil it is creating.

​

Principle Three of "Kingian Nonviolence" recognizes that both the perpetrator and the recipient of violence are damaged.  We do not attack people, but that which attacks everyone - violence itself.
The nonviolent resister [you] seeks to defeat evil, not persons [perpetrators, who are also] victimized by evil.

​

We cannot be nonviolent nor experience our own inner peace as long as we harbor attack thoughts against anyone. Only when we give up blaming and hatred of "the other side" can we begin to heal.  When enough of us heal, there will be an impact upon the culture and it will become "politically incorrect" to hate.

​

We are being infected by a new active virus more potent that Covid-19, and many of us have the symptoms without recognizing them.  There is a "vaccine", however.

​

It has taken us a long time to get this damaged and it will take some time to heal, but first we must stop the practice of violence and instead Practice Peace!

​

We have ignored the facts of nuclear proliferation, climate change, and gun violence that are now seemingly beyond our control. We are accepting unapologetic lies as reasonable.  We simply cannot afford to ignore the virus of increasing violence; hatred, conspiracy, disinformation, retribution, and fear.
 

The choice is no longer violence or nonviolence; it’s nonviolence or non-existence.

- Martin Luther King Jr.

​

And so, with the incredible strength of the nonviolence movement, we are challenged to take a stand.  

​

Nonviolence is not pacifism, but rather the most courageous form of activism.
