For decades, people all over the world have been inspired by the creative, bold, and loving nonviolent example of Nonviolence International’s founder Mubarak Awad. While he is celebrated widely among those who follow movements for either active nonviolence or Palestinian humanity, many of his neighbors have been unaware of his impact. Making a small yet meaningful step towards correcting the record, the City of Gaithersburg has proclaimed August 22, 2023 'Mubarak Awad Day' in celebration of his 80th birthday! Psst don't tell Mubarak yet, this is a surprise!At NVI we are marking this momentous occasion by building a campaign to ensure Mubarak's vision and legacy of nonviolence continues on for at least another 80 years. Can you help us by sharing a few sentences about a heartening memory of Mubarak or a few words of appreciation for who he is? We'd like to share your kind words with our network as we ask for support to withstand the crises our world faces in the coming years, and lead the global nonviolent movement through these dark times. Thank you for helping us honor Mubarak's legacy and mark this special day!
