DESCRIPTION:Building on his experience in co-founding multiple youth movements in the 
 Middle East, Ahmed Salah learned that there are rarely any truly impossible 
 situations and that even the most powerful corrupt systems can be taken 
 down with creative thinking and passionate work.\n\nCome join us in a 
 conversation about the value of non-violence in protest against repressive 
 political environments and the fundamental importance of making ethical 
 choices in this existential struggle. We will discussed the historical 
 significance of the Egyptian revolution and what we can learn from its 
 successes and eclipse. We will look into Arab aspirations for change and 
 liberation. We will examine the autocratic politics in the Middle East and 
 international complicity in the denial of human rights in the 
 region.\n\nAhmed Salah, born in Egypt in 1967, was a member of the 
 Coordinating Committee of Kefaya, (2004-2010), the coordinator of Youth for 
 Change (2005-2006), and the primary founder and strategist of April 6 Youth 
 movement of Egypt. He became the main architect of the January 2011 
 revolution, and the coordinator of the Coalition of the Committees for the 
 Defense of the Revolution (2011-2013).\n\nAhmed is a recipient of important 
 justice awards. He published You Are Under Arrest for Masterminding the 
 Egyptian Revolution (2016). He lives in San Francisco and teaches classes 
 on the value of non-violence as philosophy, moral practice, and winning 
 strategy in political movements for change. He can be reached at
