Nonviolent action is a means of combat, as is war. It involves the matching of forces and the waging of battle, requires wise strategy and tactics and demands of its soldiers courage, discipline and sacrifice. This view of nonviolent action as a technique of active combat is diametrically opposed to the popular assumption that, at its strongest, nonviolent action relies on rational persuasion of the opponent, and more commonly it consists simply of passive submission. Nonviolent action is just what it says: action which is nonviolent, not inaction. This technique consists, not simply of words, but of active protest, noncooperation, and intervention. Dr. Gene Sharp. Proud of the young people I know around the country who have been and are currently engaged in Moral Combat in #Ferguson, #Ohio, #Chicago #Mississippi #Florida and all our communities where they see the need for change. Also lifting up our veterans who engage in constructive, meaningful dialog to move our country forward. Grateful for the inspiration.(Yall tag others Ive left out. I havent had coffee yet.) #365THNX #OurLivesMatter #EllasSong #ChangeGonnaCome
