Hope and Courage in Our Times: Kathy Kelly Tells Her Story
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 12:30 p.m.
KATHY KELLY, nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2000, is a Co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence and co-founder of the Voices in the Wilderness (VitW), a campaign that worked to lift economic sanctions against Iraq and delivered medical supplies to Iraqis from 1996-2003.
Kathy challenges us to “speak truth” to power and keep hope and courage with her moving narratives about ordinary people from her work in places of war and conflict. Kathy is a veteran of active engagement against violence and author of Other Lands Have Dreams, a collection of her writings from war zones and prison. She is most recently back from Gaza.
