Nationwide – Between September 21 and October 2, 2024, tens of thousands of people participated in over 5,238+ nonviolent actions to protest violence, war, poverty, racism and environmental destruction as part of the 11th annual Campaign Nonviolence Action Days.  Stretching between the International Day of Peace (Sept 21) to the International Day of Nonviolence (Oct 2), the campaign brings together over 100 organizations to “build a culture of peace and active nonviolence, free from war, poverty, racism, and environmental destruction.” The effort increases public awareness of the many aspects of violence from direct/physical violence (such as gun violence, mass shootings, death penalty, and war) to systemic/structural violence (poverty, mass incarceration, climate crisis) to cultural violence (bias, discrimination, oppression).

More Than 60 Actions Nationwide Pile Pressure On Congress

October 1, 2021 Liberation News. , , ,
As part of national days of protest called by Cancel the Rents, more than 60 demonstrations took place in cities and towns across the United States September 24-26 calling on Congress to immediately pass an indefinite nationwide moratorium on evictions. Protesters also demanded the cancellation of the crushing debt to landlords that had built up over the course of the pandemic as tenants’ were unable to work and back rent accumulated. Tens of billions of dollars have already been allocated for renter relief programs by the federal government, but is being distributed excruciatingly slowly — another focus of the protests. Congress has the authority to prevent 11 million evictions from taking place in the midst of a pandemic. This could be accomplished by incorporating an eviction freeze into the social spending budget that is currently under consideration.
