EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

BACKGROUND

The Season for Nonviolence is a 64-day period observed between the anniversaries of the deaths of Mohandas Ghandi on January 30 and Martin Luther King Jr., on April 4. The goal of the event is to promote peace and nonviolence in the Alameda community. The AUAH will discuss ideas for cross-committee collaboration, how to promote the event, and overall vision based on best practices from previous years. The event will be held the last week in March 2026.
