We help leaders develop thriving communities of justice and peace, using the discipline of Kingian Nonviolence — in solidarity with movements, and accountability to impacted people.

We are committed to working with young adults through our paid internship program. Everything we do involves Kingian Nonviolence, and interns are involved in everything we do.

We envision a world in Beloved Community, liberated from oppression, violence, and war.


Kingian Nonviolence is more than a conflict resolution tool—it’s a transformative approach to building justice, peace, and lasting community change. Rooted in the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it equips individuals and groups to challenge injustice, foster reconciliation, and create meaningful, sustainable impact.

3000 Miles for Peace 2025

Thursday, May 15, 2025 at 5:00 AM through July 06, 2025
Racery

Join us in a peer-to-peer fundraiser to support the work of On Earth Peace. Throughout the month of June, the OEP community will collectively walk, run, dance, swim, shoot hoops, anything! to accumulate miles towards our goal. In May, the fundraising phase of the event begins. Money raised through the 3000 Miles for Peace event will go towards On Earth Peace's work to develop young peacemakers through our internship program and youth & children's resources.

We are excited to once again hold a 3000 Miles for Peace event.  The event is hosted through a platform called Racery.  To join the event, follow this link- https://onearthpeace.racery.com/r/miles-for-peace/.  There you are invited to join the 3000 Miles for Peace event and offered a dashboard that includes a fundraising link to share with your friends and family and a link to invite others to join and contribute.  There is a $25 registration fee ($11 covers the platform services, $14 goes directly to On Earth Peace).  Complementary registration is also available as needed; please email Marie at [email protected] for a code to enter.


In June, we will be able to track our collective progress to reaching our 3000 miles goal.  The virtual route connects the On Earth Peace Board of Directors as Laura Hay, co-chair, journeys to Greensboro, NC for the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference.* 

We look forward to this event that connects all of the OEP community!  Thank you for your efforts to fundraise on our behalf and have fun as you consider the activities you will participate in throughout June!

We also seek congregation, college, and business sponsors for this event, to learn more about sponsoring On Earth Peace's events, contact Marie at [email protected].

*Please note that Laura is not actually walking to Greensboro.  This is a fun route inspired by the OEP Board of Directors.  Laura will be at Annual Conference in July - they will fly to get there.*

This 2 Hour webinar covers:

  • The 4 pillars of Kingian Nonviolence

  • Initial introduction to the 6 Principles and 6 Steps - the “Will” and the “Skill” of Kingian Nonviolence.

  • The Social Dynamics of Kingian Nonviolence  

This training will be co-facilitated by Sherrilynn Bevel and Clara McGilly.

Sherrilynn Bevel, PhD, is a Level III Kingian Nonviolence Trainer. She co-founded and is Associate Director of the Addie Wyatt Center for Nonviolence Training. From 2018 through 2020, she was Director of Training and Special Projects for the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence in Providence. Sherri chairs the board of directors of The Diversity Think Tank, which seeks equity in academic hiring at state-supported institutions of higher education. In the classroom, she teaches political science, human rights, Nonviolence, and African American studies. In The Chicago Freedom Movement: Martin Luther King Jr. and Civil Rights Activism in the North (U. of KY Press, 2016), she documented the contributions of a youth-led campaign to end lead poisoning, which ultimately resulted in federal lead protection legislation; and argued that this aspect of the Chicago Freedom Movement was an important precursor to the modern environmental justice movement.

Clara McGilly received her Level 1 Training in Kingian Nonviolence in the fall of 2020 through OEP, and was a Kingian Nonviolence Intern for OEP in 2021. She grew up in Oakland, California and graduated from Pitzer College, where she studied Linguistics and Math and spent a semester living in Nepal.
