The Aurora Community is pleased to announce the “2013 A World of Enlightened Action, 16th Annual Gandhi-King Season for Nonviolence” event.  This event is sponsored by Aurora Public Schools, the Aurora Police Department and the New Dawn Center for Spiritual Living.

A number of community events will begin this week kicking off on Thursday at Rangeview High School. The featured guest speaker will be Azim Khamisa.  Following the murder of his only son Tariq in 1995, Azim chose the path of forgiveness and compassion rather than revenge and established the Tariq Khamisa Foundation.  He is a renowned and compelling international speaker about the message of non-violent alternatives to conflict resolution.

The events over the three days are open to the public.  Information regarding the other community events is available here
