ttt1351-dec_23-peacemaking
In this holiday season, TruthtoTell pauses to reflect on the annual promise of peace on earth and good will to all. Universal peace may seem an unattainable goal, at least in the short term, but that doesn’t stop peace makers (and war resisters) from working creatively to bring peace with justice to our neighborhoods and the world.
Tune in this Monday as TTT hosts Michelle Alimoradi and Tom O’Connell talk with four Twin Cities’ peace makers about their work, the lessons they are learning, and what gives them hope.
Tim Wallis– Phd in peace studies, has worked on peacemaking all over the world, former Director, Nonviolent Peaceforce, currently working on The Futility of Force affirming diplomacy, mutual trust, and belief in common humanity.
Melvin Giles– Twin Cities Peacemaker, member of the Minnesota Alliance of Peacemakers.
Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer- Associate Professor of Justice and Peace Studies at the University of St. Thomas, Founder, Minnesota Arms Spending Alternatives Project (MNASAP), Author, Authentic Hope: It’s the End of the World as we know it, but soft landings are possible.
