Mohandas Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India. His life and legacy changed the way we engage in the fight against oppression and injustice. His soul found no solace in violent struggles, and through his wisdom and sagacity, he was able to create a new way to confront the British Empire, which exploited and oppressed his country, then an English colony.
The unity, engagement, and peaceful resistance movement created by Gandhi opened the doors to his country’s independence and presented us with effective strategies for achieving civil rights, empowerment, and social participation in an organized and non-violent way.
In times of nuclear weapons and unscrupulous leaders wielding immense power, these strategies can strengthen individuals who do not believe that violence and the extermination of “enemies” is the solution for humanity.
Our meeting will present some of the important strategies left by Gandhi that inspired peaceful resistance movements and struggles used by many leaders in different countries.
To honor his legacy of Nonviolence, we will share some of the key strategies left by Mahatma Gandhi. To participate in this conversation, simply fill out the registration form and select the language you wish to participate,
