changed for the better film festival viewer our world needs this message it was heartfelt hopeful and inspiring i m overwhelmed and grateful film festival viewer introductory video holistic nonviolence is an emerging path for personal transformation and social evolution it is intended to foster the creation of a global community of conscience organized around an ever deepening commitment to regard and treat all others however they may differ from ourselves with care and respect what does it mean and is it for me there are many forms of oppression and violence in society that for reasons of culture or tradition remain largely unexamined walking the path of holistic nonviolence is about questioning all forms of oppression and violence seeking to better understand their common roots and choosing alternatives it is about being unwilling directly or indirectly to take part in violence to profit from the harm of others or to willfully ignore oppression it is about refusing to intentionally take away the dignity bodily integrity freedom or the life of another individual no matter how they may differ from ourselves be they a fellow human or a fellow animal pursuing this path is not about being perfect but about challenging ourselves to ever expand our understanding of how our actions affect others and over time to come closer and closer to the ideal of nonviolence toward all it is a long term path of self development integrity and service it places a special focus on respecting advocating for and when possible empowering those who are being oppressed exploited or

take part in discussions or actions that marginalize vulnerable individuals or groups supporting businesses and institutions that do not engage in racist speciesist sexist homophobic ableist

or killing our fellow animals eliminating the use of bioengineered products that threaten the genetic integrity of the natural world reducing or eliminating consumption of fossil fuels and other products connected with climate disruption and the destruction of our biosphere refraining from supporting or participating in socially sanctioned mass violence such as military aggression forced migration and wildlife killing campaigns activism active nonviolence commitment to nonviolently intervene in accordance with one s capacity when others are being harmed and to work for the abolition of systemic harms some examples raising awareness of nonviolent alternatives and joyfully assisting others with adopting them helping members of the public understand how the victims of socially sanctioned violence are individuals with inherent dignity and worth adopting language and behaviors that challenge prejudices and that express care and respect for those who are marginalized or oppressed investigating documenting and exposing injustices joining with others to protest against violence exploitation or oppression of other human beings and members of other species working to liberate those who are unjustly confined or incarcerated or being used against their will for labor entertainment sexual gratification scientific experimentation breeding achievement of military objectives or the production of food pharmaceuticals and consumer goods helping those who have been traumatized by abuse or violence come to safety and ...
