an Iowa initiative in support of Campaign Nonviolence

Non-violence confronts systematic injustice with active love, but refuses to retaliate with further violence under any circumstances. In order to halt the vicious cycles of violence, it requires a willing acceptance of suffering and death rather than inflicting suffering or death on anyone else.
- John Dear, Living Peace: A Spirituality of Contemplation and Action (2000)
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. The beauty of nonviolence is that in its own way and in its own time it seeks to break the chain reaction of evil.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here?: Chaos or Community (1967)

Focusing on those practicing nonviolence in a world of violence
