Great Kickoff Event for Erie's NonViolence Summer Week
The first event for this week long celebration of Nonviolence in Erie was a great success. The Community concert was a great kickoff to the week. The concert was an event that brought several different sections of the Erie community together to celebrate the Creator, support the philosophy of Nonviolence, and to make personal pledges to nonviolence. There were several demographics of the community represented at this event. Various ages, races, cultures, denominations and religions all came together to stand with a united voice and declaration of NONVIOLENCE! It was a beautiful thing to see. I am excited to see what the rest of the week is going to bring!

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
