Today would have been Fannie Lou Hamer's 107th birthday!

Hamer — a survivor of police brutality, white supremacist attacks, and forced sterilization — devoted her life to working for peace and justice. As an anti-abortion feminist, she didn’t leave anyone behind in her work.

A quote from Hamer reads: “I think these children have a right to live. And I think these mothers have a right to support them in a decent way. We are dealing with human beings.”

Happy International Day of Nonviolence! 🕊

“We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself. We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts.” –MLK Jr.

No violence against children
No violence against men
No violence against people of color
No violence against elders
No violence against immigrants
No violence against gay people
No violence against those in other nations
No violence against people with disabilities
No violence against religious minorities

"Talking in a way that tells any class of people that they don’t deserve to exist in the same society as you is not civil in this sense, no matter how politely your words are framed," writes Timothy Kirchoff.

Civility Is Not Politeness

by Timothy Kirchoff—A decade – or perhaps a lifetime – ago, in early 2016, former Speaker of the House John Boehner and then-Vice President Joe Biden jointly received the prestigious Laetare medal at the University of Notre Dame commencement ceremony. Both spoke about civility and the importance of working together across divisions.
