Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. heavily emphasized the idea of “nonviolence”. Nonviolence is a means of achieving social and political ends through acts of civil disobedience such as protests, sit-ins, or political noncooperation. Dr. King advocated for his cause without using violence as a means to an end, and instead was successful because he fought with love instead of hate. Nonviolence can be seen frequently in this day and age. In the United States, protests occur daily showing different people from different backgrounds coming together to peacefully fight for what they believe. As a social service agency, United Way advocates throughout the year for those who have no voice, the less fortunate here in Delaware County. Instead of using violence to deal with the extreme effects of poverty, United Way supports seeking help from your neighborhood social service agencies. Celebrate Dr. King’s memory by committing to only acting in nonviolence and in love.
