“Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
San Jose is stepping into history with its first annual Peace Walk, organized by the Center for Spiritual Living, San Jose (CSL San Jose), on Sunday, March 23, 2025. This inspiring event is part of the 28th annual Season for Nonviolence, a grassroots movement launched by the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT). Spanning January 30th to April 4th—the 64 days between the assassinations of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—this season celebrates the transformative power of peace.
Taking place in the charming Willow Glen neighborhood, the Peace Walk kicks off at 1:00 PM with an opening ceremony at Frank Bramhall Park (1320 Willow St., San Jose). The 2-mile route will wind from the park, up to and across Lincoln Avenue to Minnesota Avenue, and back, concluding with a closing ceremony. It’s more than a walk—it’s a chance to unite as a community, spreading compassion and solidarity in these uncertain times.
This is an all-inclusive event, open to everyone—no fees, no registration, just show up! Bring your own peace signs to share your voice, and look out for Peace Rocks, hand-painted by CSL San Jose community members. Scatter them along the route or gift them as symbols of hope.
