Covenant for Nonviolent

Change in Liberia

 Liberia First is on a peace mission to challenge Liberians everywhere in making a conscientious decision to promote peaceful engagements for nonviolent political change in Liberia. This means that citizens and friends of Liberia will make symbolic declaration never to participate in acts of political violence against political opponents, individuals, or the government of Liberia by the use of guns, bombs, or weapons of mass destruction. Instead, they shall endeavor to promote nonviolent principles as means of resolving  political conflicts with individuals, groups or the government of Liberia.

    To joi Covenant Pledge.

Signatures Drive

 Liberia First is on 250,000 signatures drive. Liberians, friends of Liberia, and nonviolent advocates from around the world who wish to support grassroots efforts to redirect the people of Liberia from deadly political attacks to bring about political change in the country.

       The 250,000 signatures will be in honor of those who died as a result of the Liberian civil war. To memorialize their violent death, all members of the Liberia First Project will pledge not to commit political murders or depose the Liberian government by the use of deadly force. Rather, our members will endeavor to employ the principles of nonviolence in fostering and sustaining democratic change in Liberia.

       Individuals and institutions which decide to identify with the nonviolent project may click here to sign up. Every signature is a symbolic step away from deadly political violence in Liberia. 

  Memorial  Project

Another aspect of our commitment to nonviolence and deadly force against political opponents is our plan to also honor the dead of the civil war by building a huge monument in Monrovia. A brief history of the  war will be engraved and the names of those who died will be inscribed as a public reminder of what is possible when Liberians rely on violence to settle political scores.

    What do You Think?
