Committee for Non-Violent Action

The Committee for Non-Violent Action was an organization dedicated to promoting social and political change through peaceful methods. Established in the 1950s and 1960s, its members advocated for non-violent resistance to combat injustice, particularly in the struggle against racial segregation and oppression, such as in the Civil Rights Movement. They organized protests, sit-ins, and legal actions, emphasizing moral persuasion over violence. The committee aimed to inspire change by demonstrating that peaceful resistance could be a powerful tool for social progress, aligning with principles of non-violence rooted in ethical and strategic considerations.
