Nonviolent Efforts in Ukraine
Battle maneuvers and documentation of atrocities are the substance of most mainstream media reports about the war in Ukraine. Yet even in this time of killing, there are people working to carve out a nonviolent space in this war-torn country. Don’t miss this important evening with Michele Dunne, Executive Director of the Franciscan Action Network (FAN) and participant in an interfaith peace delegation that traveled to Ukraine last May.
