Lately, I\u2019ve been studying Gandhi again, to prepare to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth on October 2, 2019. He\u2019s certainly the greatest person of the past few hundred years, yet why do we so thoroughly reject his teachings of active nonviolence? We keep plunging into greater chaos, blindness, injustice, violence and destruction. But Gandhi remains a towering example of creative nonviolence and the power of grassroots movements to transform our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have nothing new to teach the world,\u201d Gandhi once said. \u201cTruth and nonviolence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. In doing so, I have sometimes erred and learned by my errors. Life and its problems have thus become to me so many experiments in the practice of truth and nonviolence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was in that same spirit of bold Gandhian experimentation with truth and nonviolence that my friends and I at Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service launched Campaign Nonviolence in 2014, as a national week of action. We called upon people across the country to take to the streets and hold public events and actions for one week, around International Peace Day, Sept. 21. With one catch: they were not to be single issue events. They were to be for the coming of a whole new culture of peace and nonviolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea was that people would connect the dots, and speak out against war, AND racism, AND poverty, AND nuclear weapons, AND environmental destruction, AND the whole darn culture of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not only that. They were also to call for a new culture of peace and nonviolence, a new nation without war, poverty, racism, nuclear weapons or environmental destruction, a new culture where everyone strived to be as nonviolent as Gandhi and King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo and behold! 240 events\/actions\/and vigils were held that first year. We were thrilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six years later, this week, we have over 3,300 registered nonviolent actions\/events\/marches\/and vigils across the United States and some 20 other countries \u2014 against war, poverty, racism, nuclear weapons and environmental destruction, and for a new culture of peace and nonviolence. We are partnering too with this week\u2019s Global Climate Strike<\/a>, so it\u2019s probably a much bigger grassroots phenomenon which cannot be measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a relief, because the media are not interested in measuring it, much less discussing it. No matter, people everywhere are taking to the streets this week and speaking out. All over we are taking public action for justice, disarmament and creation. The grassroots movement is moving. And that is heartening. Eventually, the media \u2014 and the leaders \u2014 will catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, I visited my friend the great Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town, South Africa, and started to brag about Campaign Nonviolence. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe what we are doing,\u201d I said proudly. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing thousands of people together across the U.S. in every state for one week to speak out against every issue of violence \u2014 from war, to poverty, to racism, to nuclear weapons, to environmental destruction, and everything in between \u2014 and also calling for a new culture of peace and nonviolence. What do you think of that?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s about time!\u201d he said angrily. \u201cThe rest of us around the world have been waiting for decades for you Americans to start something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was none too impressed and quite annoyed that it had taken so long for such a grassroots effort to start. I was stung and sobered \u2014 and greatly helped by his response. Of course, he was right: it\u2019s about time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about time for all of us to step to the plate the way Gandhi and Tutu and so many other heroes and peace leaders have before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank God, this week, many are. In Wilmington, Delaware, Peace Week has organized over 100 events (see: www.peaceweekdelaware.org<\/a>). Little Rock, Arkansas will hold some 50 events (www.arkansaspeaceweek.com<\/a>). Memphis has declared itself a \u201cnonviolent city\u201d and will host a series of events (www.cnvmemphis.org<\/a>). \u201cNonviolent Twin Cities\u201d will host over 40 events in St. Paul\/Minneapolis (www.twincitiesnonviolent.org<\/a>). The culmination will be a march on Saturday with thousands of people. Dr. King\u2019s friend, Rev. James Lawson and I will address the crowd, and call for permanent nonviolent resistance to our culture of violence, and a brand new, global grassroots people power movement of nonviolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see the entire list of thousands of events, go to <\/strong>actionlist.campaignnonviolence.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing we can do, there\u2019s nothing anyone can do. That is exactly what the culture of violence and war wants us to believe. And we too easily give in to that hopelessness. But if we give into that do-nothing despair, then we are serving the culture of violence and war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Gandhi, Tutu, and so many others show us that the power of organized nonviolence in grassroots movements can make a difference and transform even the worst situation into a new culture of peace. Each one of us is needed to take a stand, take a step, speak out and join the movement. Each one of us can be Rosa Parks or Greta Thunberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith,\u201d Gandhi once said. Well, we can\u2019t all be Gandhi, but we can all do what we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dare we be as bold, as audacious, as outrageous as Gandhi, in the pursuit of a cultural transformation toward nonviolence? Why not? What have we got to lose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this is the best use of our lives in a bad time. We might as well give ourselves to the highest cause, the most noble cause \u2014 the disarmament of the world, the transformation of systemic injustice and permanent warfare into a new culture of nonviolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we have to go well beyond Gandhi, and build up a global, connect-the-dots, grassroots, people power, bottom up movement of nonviolence the likes of which the world has never seen before. That\u2019s where we are headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, Sept. 21, International Peace Day, I\u2019ll urge the crowd in St. Paul\/Minneapolis to rise to the occasion, to become the people we were meant to be, Gandhi-like peacemakers of audacious, astonishing, visionary nonviolence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t hear about the Campaign Nonviolence grassroots movement in the mainstream media, but it\u2019s out there \u2014 mobilizing, growing, building, bubbling up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we all pitch in and do our part in the global grassroots movements of nonviolence that are moving around the world, one day, they will bubble over into an epidemic of transformative nonviolence on behalf of humanity and creation. Even if we don\u2019t live to see that new day, it\u2019s a vision worth pursuing. Perhaps the only vision worth pursuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
