Nonviolence International-NY Nonviolence International New York works to develop UN goals, strengthen civil society, empower women, and promote nonviolent solutions and globally.

Nonviolence International - New York (NVI) seeks to reduce the use of violence by identifying its root causes, developing policy recommendations to combat the misuse of weapons and human right violations, promoting the rule of law and advocating for the inclusiveness of all stakeholders in effecting change

Nonviolence has proven to be one of the most effective tools to deal with violence, oppression and discrimination. Nonviolence is based on the conviction that the use of violence (even in the face of violence) is counterproductive to achieve an outcome. Rather, nonviolence is understood as an essential mean to achieve political and social change through the empowerment of individuals and civil society, cooperating with each other to ensure peace, justice, and prosperity for all. A nonviolent approach towards social change involves using open and transparent communication, community building and governance to maximize the cooperation between all sectors of society resulting in inclusive and effective solutions.

Orange Shirt Day is an important day that honors the lives of the Indigenous children that never returned home from the Indian residential schools. On May 2021, there were 215 bodies found on a boarding school grounds. This news has inspired survivors from these schools to talk about their experience going to these schools.
During our morning meetings we discuss important topics with our interns. For this discussion we watched the video, Voices of Amiskwaciy - Harold Cook’s Story.
This was a video made by Edmonton Public Libraryon about Harold Cook’s experience in an Indian residential school. This recording is our honest reactions to what we learned in the video.
