DESCRIPTION:An evening of discussion between lifleong activists and authors David 
 Hartsough and Norman Solomon\n\ncelebrating David Hartsough's recently 
 released book\n\nWaging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong 
 Activist\n\nfrom PM Press\n\nAn evening to discuss the current political 
 climate and how we can move forward constructively and powerfully. We will 
 hear stories of courageous nonviolent responses to racism, war and violence 
 during sixty years of organizing actions and movements for peace and 
 justice in the US and around the world. What has worked and what are some 
 of the lessons learned as we build campaigns and movements to challenge 
 Trump's extremist policies? Where do we find hope in the gloom of the Trump 
 presidency? The American people may be more motivated and ready to get 
 actively involved than any time since the 1960's. We do have the power if 
 we mobilize it to completely change the future course of our 
 country.\n\nAbout Waging Peace:\n\nDavid 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\nWaging Peace is a testament to the difference one person 
 can make. Hartsough's stories inspire, educate, and encourage readers to 
 find ways to work for a more just and peaceful world. Inspired by the 
 examples of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., Hartsough has spent 
 his life experimenting with the power of active nonviolence. It 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 sixty 
 years, including the Civil Rights and anti–Vietnam War movements in the 
 United States and the little-known but equally significant nonviolent 
 efforts in the Soviet Union, Kosovo, Palestine, Sri Lanka, and the 
 Philippines.\n\nHartsough’s story demonstrates the power and 
 effectiveness of organized nonviolent action. But Waging Peace is more than 
 one man’s memoir. Hartsough shows how this struggle is waged all over the 
 world by ordinary people committed to ending the spiral of violence and 
 war.\n\nPraise:\n\n"Peace will only come when all of us become the change 
 we wish to see in this world. David Hartsough became that change and has 
 spent the best part of sixty years working to bring peace to our troubled 
 world. His book is one that every peace-loving person must read and learn 
 from." —Arun Gandhi, president, Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute 
 (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi)\n\n"It has been my privilege to work with 
 David Hartsough over the years and to be arrested and jailed with him for 
 nonviolent civil disobedience. I highly recommend Waging Peace to every 
 American who wishes to live in a world with peace and justice and wants to 
 feel empowered to help create that world." —Daniel Ellsberg, Secrets: A 
 Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers\n\n“When great events happen, 
 such as the falling of the Berlin Wall, we must never forget that people 
 like David Hartsough and many others have worked hard to prepare the ground 
 for such 'miracles.’ David’s belief in the goodness of people, the 
 power of love, truth, and forgiveness and his utter commitment to making 
 peace and ending war will inspire all those who read this book.” 
 —Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Peace People, Northern 
 Ireland\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/01/24/18795750.php
