We mean both Pacifism and Nonviolent Action

We are not communicating clearly.  We list ‘pacifism’ in the introduction.  We would be better off listing ‘nonviolent action,’ or both.  Many people think pacifism means being passive, not doing much, just accepting injustice.  We mean the whole Gene Sharp THE POLITICS OF NONVIOLENT ACTION approach, organizing our fellow citizens, the civil rights movement, people power, speaking truth to power, all that, all those many, many methods in which we can do a great deal indeed.  Please, let us go ahead and say it.
