DESCRIPTION:David Hartsough knows how to get in the way. He has used his body to block 
 Navy ships headed for Vietnam and trains loaded with munitions on their way 
 to El Salvador and Nicaragua. He has crossed borders to meet "the enemy" in 
 East Berlin, Castro's Cuba, and present-day Iran. He has marched with 
 mothers confronting a violent regime in Guatemala and stood with refugees 
 threatened by death squads in the Philippines.\n\nDavid's book, "Waging 
 Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist", is a testament to the 
 difference one person can make. His stories inspire, educate, and encourage 
 readers to find ways to work for a more just and peaceful world.\n\nDavid 
 Hartsough will speak about his life, his book, and his latest reflections 
 on the world. His trip to Russia this past June will surely be one element 
 of the evening's talk. Copies of "Waging Peace" will be available for 
 sale.\n\nInspired by the examples of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King 
 Jr., David has spent his  life experimenting with the power of active 
 nonviolence. "Waging Peace" is the story of one man's effort to live as 
 though we were all brothers and sisters.\n\nEngaging stories on every page 
 provide a peace activist's eyewitness account of many of the  major 
 historical events of the past 60 years, including the Civil Rights and 
 anti-Vietnam War movements in the U.S. and the little-known but equally 
 significant nonviolent efforts in the then-Soviet Union, Kosovo, Palestine, 
 Sri Lanka, and the Philippines.\n\nDavid's story demonstrates the power and 
 effectiveness of organized nonviolent action. But "Waging Peace" is more 
 than one man's memoir. He shows how this struggle is waged all over the 
 world by ordinary people committed to ending the spiral of violence and 
 war.\n\nDavid is the director of Peaceworkers; he was also a co-founder of 
 the Nonviolent Peaceforce and World Beyond War; and participant in a 
 Citizens Diplomacy delegation to Russia June 15-30.\nThe UUSM is wheelchair 
 accessible.\n\nFree, contributions welcome.\n
