This event, co-hosted by the Dayton Season for Nonviolence Initiative and the Dayton Move to Amend affiliate, will begin at 5:00 p.m. with refreshments and opportunities to learn about local organizations working to improve the lives of people in the Dayton area.

A Season for Nonviolence is a national 64-day educational, media, and grassroots campaign dedicated to demonstrating that nonviolence is a powerful way to heal, transform, and empower our lives and our communities. Begun in 1998, and inspired by the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this international event honors their vision for a nonviolent world.

Ms. George Friday of Move to Amend will speak on “Community Engagement and Social Change”around 7:00 p.m. She will be preceded by several community activists at 6 p.m. with presentations and community discussion on the issues of education, economic disparities and food deserts, criminal justice, and race relations.

Move to Amend is comprised of diverse groups dedicated to ending legal doctrines that prevent US citizens from exercising democracy. Hundreds of organizations have endorsed Move to Amend, and more than 400,000 people have signed Move to Amend Petition.
