Over 5,300+ Actions Planned from Sept 21-Oct 2 to ‘End War, Poverty, Racism and Environmental Destruction’ as part of Campaign Nonviolence

Nationwide – Between September 21 and October 2, 2025, tens of thousands of people will participate in over 5,300+ nonviolent actions to protest violence, war, poverty, racism and environmental destruction as part of the 12^th annual Campaign Nonviolence Action Days.

Stretching between the International Day of Peace (Sept 21) to the International Day of Nonviolence (Oct 2), the annual effort rallies numerous national, international, and local groups to ‘build a culture of peace and active nonviolence, free from war, poverty, racism, and environmental destruction’.

Amidst concerns about gun violence, mass shootings, political violence, climate crisis, rising authoritarianism, war and genocide, Campaign Nonviolence brings people together in solidarity to work for an end to violence in all its forms. Local groups work to dismantle direct, structural, and systemic forms of violence using the tools of active nonviolence. Each group takes action on a different aspect of the broad vision, addressing issues such as immigration, discrimination, environmental destruction, health, poverty and more.

Campaign Nonviolence organizers affirm and advance the many viable nonviolent alternatives that exist, such as community safety teams, conflict resolution skills, peacebuilding, demilitarization, racial justice, restorative practices, self care, sustainability, renewable energy, living wages, civil resistance, and much more.

For 2025, people are invited to join the theme of “practicing nonviolence toward self, others, world, and earth”. The campaign calls for a range of nonviolent actions, including self care and wellness (self), community safety teams and violence de-escalation trainings (others), protests and visibility actions (world), and divestment from fossil fuels and weapons (earth). Two additional calls invite people to bring anti-militarism and anti-war leaflets to International Day of Peace events and to hold nonviolence teach-ins on Oct 2, the International Day of Nonviolence.

Collaborating organizations include: Sandy Hook Promise, Nonviolent Peaceforce, 350.org USA/Make Billionaires Pay, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, SunDay, Cure Violence, World BEYOND War, International Cities of Peace, ICAN, DC Peace Team, Backbone Campaign, Global Silent Minute, World Cleanup Day, Unity Earth, Jared’s Heart of Success, Nonviolent Cities Project, Catholic Nonviolence Days of Action, We the World, L.O.V.E. Is the Answer, World Wellness Weekend, Pax Christi International, Pax Christi USA, Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, United Religions Initiative, United4Peace, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, Pause the World For Peace, Pathways to Peace, and local Peace Day efforts like Peace Day Philly, Peace Week Delaware, and Arkansas Peace Week; and many more.

The annual action days highlight and uplift events such as:

– Move the Money Divestment Actions w/ 350.org’s Make Billionaires Pay & Draw the Line

– World Wellness Weekend’s thousands of self care and wellness events

– Cleanup actions in over 200 countries with World Cleanup Day

Campaign Nonviolence was launched September 2014 with 230 nonviolent actions in every state in the nation. In 2024, over 5000 actions took place across the United States and around the world. It is coordinated by Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service, a 36-year-old nonprofit that promotes nonviolence.

About this year’s International Day of Peace…

In a time of turbulence, tumult, and uncertainty, it is critical for everyone to take concrete action to mobilize for peace.

From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect;

and embrace the diversity of our world.

There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and off-line, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.

One of my most important missions is to help ALL in our world to

respect and cherish all that we have, including our animal and plant

kingdoms. We are living in Nirvana, and as brothers and sister

homo-sapiens we are all blessed to be alive. Think Positive, most of

the individuals in the world live in Peace and those few who can’t act

nonviolently let’s find them and help them realize the consequences of

their actions or help they with their mental disorders.

The summer is fast approaching which presents a host of skin-related seasonal challenges, from sunburns, and heat and humidity that threaten our freshly made-up face to pesky mosquito bites. While we can’t control the humidity or the temperature, we can prepare ourselves for the dog days of summer with a little help from former Survivor contestant and make-up artist on The View, Rebecca Borman.
