Long overdue, and desperately needed, a major change did begin on this date \u2014 June 7, 1893 \u2014 in South Africa. This is the day that Mohandas Gandhi refused to give up his seat on a train. Instead of accepting the humiliation of racial discrimination, he accepted the inconvenience. He didn\u2019t get where he was headed as quickly as he intended, but he began a lifelong journey of discovery that may still, at this late date, have the power to save us. A young Gandhi learned that day about the importance of saying \u201cno\u201d to injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many know something of his work to liberate India through the power of active nonviolence. He became a renowned practitioner of what he described as &#8220;a force more powerful&#8221; than any other in the history of humanity. But if you read Wikipedia&#8217;s article about June 7, you will learn of many battles, but not of this pivotal moment. Interestingly, one year earlier on this same date, Homer Plessy attempted to ride in the \u201cwhites only\u201d section of a train in Louisiana prompting the famous <em>Plessy v. Ferguson<\/em> case and its evil \u201cseparate but equal\u201d ruling. That ruling echoes to this day in the unjust system being laid bare even as I write these words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, we have allowed the beauty and impact of nonviolence to remain largely in its infancy. We should have studied how to build a world of peace with justice, as seriously as we have studied war. Yet the early successes of active nonviolence teach us that it is the only path forward that will allow us to achieve our vast potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our world is both beautiful and dangerously broken. In recent days and weeks, many people are waking up to the harsh reality that we are addicted to violence. All over people are seeing that violence is built right into our very system. We face epidemic levels of violence. Even as we hear that \u201cwe are all in this together,\u201d we know that to make that commitment real, we have to change our policies in deep and lasting ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently in the United States, people who don\u2019t understand the heart of nonviolence call loudly for \u201cnonviolence.\u201d Why? Because they want to maintain the brutally violent status quo.&nbsp;Active nonviolence must always be on the side of justice and can never support an unjust order. Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. shared a deep and lasting commitment to those at the bottom of the social order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days people are repeating King\u2019s line \u201criots are the language of the unheard.&#8221; True and important, but let\u2019s also remember that he repeatedly told us that we have a clear and ongoing moral obligation to not only hear those voices, but also to make big structural system changes that reflect the reality that all people everywhere are valued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Gandhi sat down on that train, he awakened the potential to change the world without resorting to violence. Of course, he wasn\u2019t really the first to use nonviolence. He read Henry David Thoreau, who in turn had read the Bhagavad Gita. These techniques have been used in small, but meaningful ways for thousands of years. What Gandhi did was to bring nonviolence into the modern world. He was a deep strategic thinker who used creative, constructive nonviolence to overcome a powerful and brutal occupying force.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gandhi paved the way. Years later Martin Luther King Jr. took these methods and applied them to the flawed experiment in democracy that is the United States. As he fought peacefully for justice, he showed us that nonviolence could be applied to a wide variety of situations. King told us \u201cthe choice before us is clear \u2014 nonviolence or nonexistence.\u201d His prophetic words ring true today more than ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We face a series of interrelated crises that can never be won through the barrel of a gun. All our nation\u2019s vast military might will never manage to fix them. It never could. It never will. Our investment in war has been grossly excessive. We spend treasure and human life in search of a solution that will always elude us. What if we spent a small fraction of what we spend on the military on the serious study of peace and on our pressing human and environmental needs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could we find a path out of this darkness to a new and better day? Could this pandemic be the \u201cportal, a gateway between one world and the next\u201d that Arundhati Roy calls on us to build together? Maybe. We certainly have a better chance if we unite a global movement of movements to explore the power of creative nonviolence. Some say it is already too late, but that suggests we are going to accept untold human suffering now and in the future. If we don\u2019t quickly embrace, explore and expand the power of nonviolence, the worst is yet to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s consider what happened 127 years ago on June 7, and decide together to address the epidemic levels of violence in our society with love, a commitment to justice, and the transformative potential of active nonviolence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as Gandhi refused to give up his train seat 127 years ago, we must reject our unjust status quo and make systemic changes to end the epidemic of violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":648,"featured_media":51060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,60,76],"tags":[35,56,73,95],"region":[65],"series":[],"article_type":[],"class_list":["post-51056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history","category-militarism","category-racial-justice","tag-gandhi","tag-martin-luther-king","tag-police","tag-united-states","region-north-america"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.3 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Could June 7 be the day humanity begins to save ourselves?
