Kathy Kelly, a two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, humanitarian, and
American peace activist, has spent a lifetime standing in solidarity
with the victims of global violence and resisting the forces that
perpetuate war and conflict around the world.

As a co-founder and leader of Voices for Creative Non-Violence, Kathy is
committed to the use of active non-violence as a means of speaking truth
to power, both military and economic. From being on the ground in Bagdad
during “shock and awe” to sending over 75 delegations to Iraq and
Afghanistan, as well as emergency contingents to Gaza and Bahrain,
Voices for Creative Non-Violence has been present with some of the
people most forgotten and most affected by war in the Middle East.

Join us for an evening of story, music and inspiration from the front
lines of global peacemaking.
• Hear first hand accounts from one of the world’s most dedicated and
courageous peacemakers.

• Learn about the growing movement of Afghan youth peace volunteers
working to build an international, multi-generational movement seeking
GEN, a green, equal and non-violent world without war.

• Be moved by the stories of young people who are uniting to reject
hatred, revenge and killing and who believe that non-violent friendships
can change Afghanistan and the world.
