About Our Guests:
Kathy Kelly is a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence and a co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, which sent over 70 delegations to Iraq from 1996 to 2003, in open defiance of deadly U.S./UN economic sanctions. Her most recent travel has involved extensive work with community organizers in Kabul, Afghanistan. Kelly's nonviolent activism has incurred frequent arrests including several lengthy incarcerations in U.S. prisons against whose conditions she also campaigns.
Tom Hastings is the Director of PeaceVoice, a professor of peace and conflict studies at Portland State University, and the author of several books including "A New Era of Nonviolence".
David Soumis is a member of Veterans For Peace. Along with Lars Prip and other local VFP members, he demonstrates for peace weekly in Madison, WI, as well as participates in numerous other nonviolent actions for peace and justice.
Gretchen Casey is the Training and Outreach Director for the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding in Gainesville, Florida. She is the founder of Unshame, a social media platform breaking the stigma around sexual violence. She has been a Victim Advocate with the Florida State Attorney's Office and Attorney General's Office for thirty-two years.
Cindy Reinhardt works with people in coaching and runs a bed and breakfast in Crestone, CO, offering multi-day retreats to help people harmonize with their self, others, and the planet.
