Active in the War Resisters League and Jewish Voice for Peace. For many years I was part of a catholic worker community that ran a soup kitchen. I like being a resource person helping connect givers and needs. I like dancing, backpacking, and using my bicycle rather than my old pick up.

From the Near East and North Africa, the Arab and Muslim worlds, Israel and Palestine come stories of nonviolent action and resistance to oppression. "As the pages of this year's War Resisters League calendar turn, we must continue to listen and narrate the stories of those who've borne, most directly, the consequences of war. The stories herein help us imagine new and life-giving history," writes Voices for Creative Nonviolence's Kathy Kelly in her introduction. "The individuals and projects included in this calendar show that people in the Middle East have not given up on each other or on the desire to live in peace with each other and everyone else," continues the calendar editor, Jim Haber in the preface. Stephen Zunes concludes in his afterword, "As the United States continues to make war against peoples and nations of the greater Middle East, it is incumbent upon nonviolent activists in the United States to familiarize ourselves further with this impressive and ongoing history of nonviolent resistance by Middle Eastern peoples."
