Season for Nonviolence


The Gandhi King Season For Nonviolence was co-founded 19 years ago in 1998 by Dr. Arun Gandhi and The Association for Global New Thought.  It is an awareness campaign of the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spanning 64 days commencing January 30th and ending April 4th.
