Join us in celebrating and standing for peace. Power to the Peaceful Festival website link Shifting our attention to peace... September 11th, 2006 is a very important date because that's when Gandhi started his non-violence mission 100 years ago. "One hundred years ago Mohandas Gandhi began the movement that would transform him into a Great Soul-the Mahatma. He had been living in South Africa for 13 years when the government proposed a law that would effectively reduce Indians to criminal status. On September 11th, 1906 he convened a meeting at the Empire Theatre in Johannesburg to mobilize his community to oppose the racially degrading legislation. That September 11th, more than 3000 people solemnly pledged to disobey the proposed law, without the use of violence, despite the consequences. With that pledge, Gandhi and his fellow Indians began the nonviolent revolution that would defeat an empire and give birth to the world's largest democracy." -The Nonviolent Peaceforce With love from your thankful community, Cafe Gratitude and Power to the Peaceful sign, winniesignature: I turned off the volume on my phone now.
