October 2 is the International Day of Non-Violence | United Nations. It is observed on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian independence movement and pioneer of the philosophy and strategy of nonviolence.

According to the U.N. General Assembly, the day is an occasion to “disseminate the message of non-violence, including through education and public awareness.” The resolution reaffirms “the universal relevance of the principle of non-violence” and the desire “to secure a culture of peace, tolerance, understanding and non-violence.”

Join us this week as we celebrate nonviolent movements around the world. And join us this Tuesday as we examine Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation:

We will be joined by Sarah Abdel-Qader of PIPD/Rabet, who will speak about Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation.
