The revolutionary concept of unity in diversity
Calls for unity often make activists cringe, but that’s usually because it’s a cover for uniformity. Nonviolence takes a different approach.
We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
Waging Nonviolence partners with other organizations and publishes their work.
