Nonviolence Guidelines

The photo above came from the anti-nuclear bombs conference in the summer of 2010 in Tennessee.
The information below was on a handout given to me at the demonstration in the recent past.

*Be nonviolent in speech and tone as well as in action.

*Show respect for all people; each person has a piece of the truth.

*Always leave the other a face-saving way out.

*In difficult moments, behave as a disciple of nonviolence.

*Try to make human contact with your antagonist, meeting them on the level of your common humanity.

*Do not hide anything.  Tell the truth.
