Cleveland Non-Violence Pledge

Cleveland the City of Peace and Nonviolence (CCPNV) is a coalition of individuals, families, organizations and religious institutions in the Greater Cleveland area that seeks to explore, practice and promote Mahatma Gandhi's and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of using nonviolence for righting wrongs and establishing a culture of humanity, justice, peace and nonviolence for the prosperity of the area.

Paramjit Singh has been working his entire life to bring these ideals to his adopted home city. Through unique and innovative partnerships with members of this coalition we can harness our collective power to:

  • Lead and facilitate events which will accelerate the on-going mission of CCPNV
  • Enroll residents of Greater Cleveland to virtually sign a Non-Violence pledge
  • Advocate to effect public policy and opinion that will make Cleveland safe and prosperous
  • Serve members of our coalition by understanding their needs and providing them support to create win-win solutions
  • Measure the progress we are making to accomplish our mission
