Joint Principles of Nonviolence

• Nonviolence means honoring the dignity and inherent worth of every human being.
  
• Nonviolence means believing that our lives are linked together, that what we do impacts the lives of other people. Therefore, we are responsible to and for one another.
  
• Nonviolence means dedicating ourselves to guaranteeing the fundamental rights of every human being (justice, equity, equality). It means using our talents to empower others as well as ourselves.
  
• Nonviolence is courageously choosing to practice compassion with our apparent adversaries. We oppose injustice, not people.
  
• Nonviolence means recognizing love as the power of the human spirit to triumph over injustice, social inequity, suffering. This is the hero's journey.
