Join us for an inspiring End-of-Year Meet and Greet to celebrate our triumphs since August, strategize for an even more impactful year ahead, and gain invaluable insights from our esteemed guest speaker, Barbara Wein! This isn't just a meeting—it's a launchpad for our future success, packed with immediate, actionable items you won't want to miss.
More about our guest speaker: Barbara Wien is a peace educator, human rights activist, public speaker, nonviolence scholar, author, and trainer. From age 21 she worked to stop human rights abuses, violence and war. She has protected civilians from death squads, and worked with hundreds of UN officials, humanitarian workers, police, military officers, and grassroots leaders to negotiate ceasefires and end armed conflicts. Barbara has served as Director of eight nonprofit peace organizations, taught alternatives to war and violence at American University, Catholic, Columbia, Georgetown, and the University of Maryland, and delivered countless training seminars in 58 countries on peace-building, peacemaking and peacekeeping. She has authored 19 articles, study guides, radio programs, on-line courses and books, including Peace and World Security Studies, a pioneering curriculum guide for university professors, now in its 7th edition. She has been recognized four times for her leadership and “political courage” by foundations and academic societies. She is featured in Amy Goodman’s book Exceptions to the Rulers, and in The Progressive magazine for speaking truth to power. Her media appearances include The Washington Post, NBC Nightly News, Australian Public Broadcasting, Nuclear Times magazine, The Harold Saunders Show, and radio interviews in India, Uganda, Zambia, Palestine-Israel, and Australia.
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
