NON VIOLENT CITIES PROJECT
The Nonviolent Cities Project is a grassroots movement and organizing strategy for activists to work locally for the transformation of their community into a peaceful nonviolent city, as Martin Luther King, Jr. envisioned it. Morro Bay, California joined the Nonviolent Cities Project on September 11, 2018 with a proclamation from the Mayor and City Council.
