Join us as we'll be gathering peacefully to show public support for Women's Reproductive Rights at locations all over East Central Missouri. There will be water, snacks, and sign-making materials provided in most cases.
Overturning Roe v Wade doesn't only have implications for Women's Reproductive Rights but may be leading to more restrictions on American citizens' privacy and ability to live, love, and worship.
Please read and consider these Six Principles of Nonviolence as we peacefully protest in our community in order to turn our anger, sadness, and frustration into positive action.
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Six Principles of Nonviolence
Principle one: Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people. It is active nonviolent resistance to evil. It is aggressive spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
Principle two: Nonviolence seeks to win friendship and understanding. The result of nonviolence is redemption and reconciliation. The purpose of nonviolence is the creation of the Beloved Community.
Principle three: Nonviolence seeks to defeat injustice, not people. Nonviolence recognizes that evildoers are also victims and are not evil people. The nonviolent resister seeks to defeat evil, not people.
Principle four: Nonviolence holds that suffering can educate and transform. Nonviolence accepts suffering without retaliation. Unearned suffering is redemptive and has tremendous educational and transforming possibilities.
Principle five: Nonviolence chooses love instead of hate. Nonviolence resists violence of the spirit as well as the body. Nonviolent love is spontaneous, unmotivated, unselfish and creative.
Principle six: Nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice. The nonviolent resister has deep faith that justice will eventually win. Nonviolence believes that God is a God of justice.
