Mahatma Gandhi’s Seven Social Sins, published in his Young India newspaper in 1925, are behaviors he believed would destroy society by undermining moral, ethical, and human values. They are:
1. wealth without work,
2. pleasure without conscience.
3. knowledge without character.
4. commerce without morality.
5. science without humanity.
6. religion without sacrifice.
7. politics without principle.

IS THIS IS NOT WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY OUR COUNTRY? ARE NOT MORAL, ETHICAL AND HUMAN VALUES BEING DESTROYED?

we need instead, the following:
1. wealth WITH work.
2. pleasure WITH conscience.
3. knowledge WITH character.
4. commerce WITH morality.
5. science WITH humanity.
6. religion WITH sacrifice.
7. politics WITH principle.

these principles serve as a timeless guide for maintaining a just and sustainable society. let us elect leaders who will follow the teachings of Mahatma Ghandi. be sure to VOTE in every election.

We believe that voicing our opinions is essential, but it must be done in a manner that upholds the values of our community. Our actions are guided by a commitment to nonviolence and consideration for everyone around us.

Our group makes it a priority to honor the city’s guidelines and demonstrate thoughtfulness toward local businesses and neighbors. We strive to foster goodwill and maintain positive relationships throughout our activities, ensuring that our message is heard without causing disruption or harm.

We extend our gratitude to the City of Nehalem for the use of their parking lot for our protest activities. It is important to us that our presence does not disrupt or interfere with the businesses located in Nehalem. In this spirit, we kindly ask all participants to avoid congregating near local businesses and to ensure that the flow of customers and operations remains uninterrupted.

Specifically, we request that protesters do not block the entrances or exits of the coffee shop across the street from our gathering location. Additionally, we ask everyone to be mindful not to visually obstruct the sign for the business situated to the north and across the street. It is also worth noting that the honking of horns heard during our demonstration is initiated by passing drivers and is not orchestrated by our group. Our intention is to foster good relationships with our neighbors in the community.
We encourage everyone to consider the perspective of local business owners, who face challenges during the winter months. Supporting their ability to attract customers is important to us, as we all share the goal of seeing Nehalem businesses thrive.

On Saturday, January 31, Nehalem became the site of a remarkable demonstration, as more than 100 individuals came together, lining the sidewalks in a unified and peaceful assembly. The atmosphere was striking, with participants standing together to protest recent actions taken by the government. This collective effort reflected deep concern over several urgent issues impacting the United States of America.

Protesters raised voices against the government’s role in contributing to harm and loss of life and expressed strong opposition to the detention of citizens without just cause. There was also significant anxiety about the climate of fear that has led many people to feel confined to their homes. Furthermore, demonstrators objected to the government’s apparent reliance on individuals perceived as bigots and brainwashers. The event served as a powerful statement, showcasing the community’s widespread unease and their unified call for meaningful change.
We are a group of people, mainly locals, but also joined by people from here and there, in county and out of county, in state and out of state. Many of us are old and we’ve been joined by more younger people every week. We thank each one of you. We will continue to peacefully protest and hope you will join us! We will see you again next Saturday.

Best,
Patty
