A Season for Nonviolence
February 19, 2026
The Season for Nonviolence marks the annual 64-day period between the memorial anniversary of the assassination of Mohandas K. Gandhi on January 30 and that of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4. Co-founded in 1998 by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi and the Association for Global New Thought, the Season teaches that every person can move the world forward in the direction of peace through daily nonviolent choices and actions.
The U.S. Federation of Sisters of Saint Joseph invites you to embrace the path of nonviolence this Lent by participating in their State of the Heart virtual gatherings, Mondays at 11 am CT, beginning February 23. Learn more and register here.
The Franciscan Peace Center has created this series of daily one-minute video reflections on nonviolence recorded by the Sisters of St. Francis, Clinton, Iowa. These inspiring messages will be released daily throughout the Season for Nonviolence. You can view them from their website or CLICK HERE to receive the daily reflections in your email.
AND if you haven’t heard yet, Pace Bene is making the whole year of 2026 The Year of Nonviolent Solutions by sharing uplifting stories and nonviolent solutions that work. Get involved! With education and action, people across the United States and around the world will be working together to bring these solutions to our communities. Learn more here.
