How to virtually attend the United National Peace Conference

    July 28, 2010

    This past weekend, hundreds of activists gathered in Albany, New York for the United National Peace Conference. In this video, Voices for Creative Nonviolence co-coordinator and WNV contributor Kathy Kelly gives a rousing call to action to the gathering. If you wanted to make it to the conference, but weren’t able to (which was unfortunately my situation), you can still watch many other talks from the weekend by clicking here.

    Eric Stoner is a co-founding editor at Waging Nonviolence and an adjunct professor at Saint Joseph's College. His articles have appeared in The Guardian, Mother Jones, Salon, The Nation, Sojourners and In These Times.
