The Biodiversity Alliance?s Statement on Non-Violence shall include:

The Biodiversity Alliance does not support or condone violence in any form.

We, The Biodiversity Alliance believe that peaceful protest and civil disobedience are powerful forces for change in a democratic society, and we defend the rights of individuals and organizations to practice them.

The Biodiversity Alliance deplores any government-backed efforts that, under the guise of anti-terrorism, attempt to squelch public dissent and curtail civil liberties by criminalizing the constitutional right to peaceful protest.

The government?s use of taxpayer money to spy on environmental and social justice groups is fiscally and morally irresponsible, and sets a frightening precedent for all individuals wishing to effect social change.
