Peace activist, author and poet David Smith-Ferri will report on Voices for Creative Nonviolence delegations to Afghanistan over the last two years. Using a slideshow, video, and original poetry, he will describe his encounters with a wide range of Afghan people, including the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers, who are risking their lives by calling for nonviolence and reconciliation. Smith-Ferri will also outline the conditions that gave rise to the Taliban movement, the reasons for the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, and the prospects for peace.
Admission is free; donations and proceeds from the sale of Smith-Ferri's books will go to support the work of Voices for Creative Nonviolence.
