Nonviolence means ... protecting the water. Water is life. It’s sacred. We can’t live without it. Yet, our water and watersheds are increasingly endangered. Oil and gas extraction threatens vast areas with contamination. Places like Flint, MI, have been without safe drinking water for years. Droughts are causing scarcity in arid regions. Cities are sucking ecosystems to the bone. Poisoning or drying up life-giving water is an act of violence. Therefore, nonviolence means that we will keep the water healthy and abundant. We will share the water with the ecosystem and our fellow human beings. We will use it wisely and respectfully. We will conserve and protect it. We will support and join nonviolent movements (especially Indigenous-led campaigns) ensuring all the plants and animals have safe, healthy water.
