Summer of Nonviolence
The community, Bernalillo County, and the City of Albuquerque are coming together to foster summer days of peace and community cohesion for our youth and families, bringing options for youth recreation, employment, volunteering, learning, socializing, and mental health support into one place.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Six Principles of Nonviolence
- Nonviolence is a Way of Life for Courageous People
- The Beloved Community is the Goal
- Attack Forces of Evil, Not Persons Doing Evil
- Accept Suffering Without Retaliation
- The Universe is on the Side of Justice
- Nonviolence Chooses Love Instead of Hate
