9/11 Programme – 100 Years of Non-violence
Nearly 100 years before the World Trade Towers became associated with Sept 11, Mohandas K. Gandhi launched the modern nonviolent movement on Sept 11, 1906.
To mark this 100-year anniversary, New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NY-DOP), in partnership with the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, have organized nationwide screenings of the 1982 movie, Gandhi, along with a debut release of a 10-minute short film entitled Satyagraha: 100 Years of Nonviolence.
Thousands of people will be inspired by the message of peace. There are screenings planned in 10 states and 3 countries!
A heartfelt wish for peace to our friends in the Middle East; there were groups planning to participate in 100 Years of Nonviolence in Beirut, Lebanon and Bethlehem, Palestine before the war broke out. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and with ALL people affected by violence. We are more determined than ever to continue working for lasting, sustainable peace for EVERYONE.
In Peace,
