Our History
Our collaboration began in 2011 as a project of the Carbondale Human Relations Commission and has since expanded as a group with many community partners who work together to create awareness-raising events and activities that promote nonviolence. These efforts produced the "11 Days for Peace," September 1-11, 2011. Various organizations and groups in the community produced more than 30 events dedicated to nonviolence and peace-making.
Next, the "11 Days for Compassion" took place May 1-11, 2012, featuring more than thirty five compassion-themed events. More than 4,500 people participated, and thousands more were reached through the local press.The 11 Days for Compassion was partly funded by a grant issued to the Carbondale Public Library in partnership with Nonviolent Carbondale and the Carbondale Human Relations Commission. The grant, from the American Library Association and the Fetzer Institute, was called "Building Common Ground: Discussions of Community, Civility and Compassion. In 2013 the Carbondale Public Library was awarded an Excellence in Library Programming Award for their leadership in 11 Days for Compassion. The honor goes to all of the organizations and individuals who planned the 11 Days, led activities, and/or attended the activities. The library has set aside $5,000.00 award for similarly themed community activities.
In the spring of 2013 Nonviolent Carbondale celebrated 11 Days for Food Justice, and in the fall of 2013 we'll be bringing back 11 Days for Peace.
