DJPC
Guidelines for Nonviolent Activism
These
apply for all DJPC sponsored events and demonstrations as
well as individuals representing DJPC at a demonstration
or
other public events.
DJPC
was founded on the principles of nonviolence. It is DJPC's
policy thatprotests
and public events be conducted in a peaceful and respectful
manner.
Therefore,
all participants are required to uphold the following responsibilities:
1)
We will act with 360 degrees of compassion for all beings
at all times, including those with differing opinions.
2)
Our attitudes and demeanor will be respectful towards all
people and the surrounding environment, including police officers
and opponents.
3)
We will not incite, use, or return violence verbal or physical
towards any other person or creature.
4)
We will not damage any property and we will take full responsibility
for our actions and not try to evade legal consequences.
5)
Weapons (or anything that could be construed as a weapon)
are strictly prohibited. We will not bring or use illegal
drugs or alcohol.
6)
As members of a nonviolent demonstration, we will follow the
directions of the designated coordinators. In the event of
a serious disagreement, we will remove ourselves from the
action.
Advocacy
DJPC
members and staff stay in touch with our legislators through
letter-writing and visits to the offices of our Colorado Congressional
delegation. We make sure they hear from people who support
the rights of the poor in Latin America!
Contact
Colorado Legislators to let them know how you feel about Latin
American issues.
