Friends,
Tomorrow evening at 6:30, the Reedley Peace Center will host FOR Executive Director Kristin Stoneking for a community conversation on active nonviolence, social justice, and movement building. Please join us!
This year the Fellowship of Reconciliation turns 100 years old, and it has paved the way for social and political change in our nation and globally.
Kristin will discuss how the lessons of FOR's century of interfaith peace and justice organizing can be applied to the justice struggles of today and tomorrow: from conscientious objectors during World War I to resisting today's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, and beyond; from helping launch the 20th-century civil rights movement to supporting this century's racial justice struggles in Ferguson, Missouri and nationwide.
Friday, Sept. 5, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
First Mennonite Church - Fellowship Hall
1208 L Street
