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

Through Campaign Nonviolence, historically separate movements are joining forces to tackle these many forms of violence and to build a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.

Those looking to participate can sign-up on their website here: https://paceebene.org/action-days

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. More than 5,337 actions and events are planned for 2025 with more expected to be added in the lead-up to Sept 21.

“Returning Hate for Hate multiplies hate , adding to deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars .
Darkness cannot drive out darkness ; only light can do that . Hate cannot drive out hate ; only love can do that . Hate multiplies hate , violence multipliers violence , and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction “.
Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King , Jr.

Renew Our Earth stands firmly in solidarity with the Asian American Community , just as we are in solidarity with the Jewish community , the Muslim Community and the Black community; and any other community that is the victim of systemic racism.

“ Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere . We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality , tied in a single garment of destiny . What ever affects one directly affects all indirectly .”

Social media is aiding to every issue that this world is experiencing from racism, to terrorism, sexual discrimination, etc… It’s time that we have a symbol, a positive movement that brings together everyone, a voice that stands for one cause, a symbol that represents one world, we need One Love. “One Love L’s Up”

The ideal concept of this movement/rally, would be to create the ultimate concert series (That will start in NYC), which will tour around the world promoting One Love with a symbol “L’s Up” (A movement with a Voice). The concert will be an all day and night festival that will generate revenue and positivity to each city that the concert is established in. There would be a 2nd stage, that would allow up and coming artists of all genres (Through a tryout and voting process) the opportunity to perform on a platform for the world. The main stage will be for celebrity performers chosen by the One Love L’s Up committee.

Part of the net proceeds of the concert will be donated to charities and nonprofit organizations in each city that the concert will be held in. to aid in all areas that this world is in need of, making One Love L’s Up THE ULTIMATE MOVEMENT FOR THE WORLD!!
