SPEAKER: Jeremy Varon is the author of "Our Grief is Not A Cry For War,” a Professor of History at the New School, and a member of Witness Against Torture. He will speak about the antiwar movement of the early 2000s, focusing on the role of September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows in it, the group’s impact on post-9/11 discourse, and the future of peacemaking efforts.
His book chronicles opposition to the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars and the torture camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!) wrote that the book "eloquently captures the depth, creativity, and commitment with which peacemakers around the world confronted the so-called War on Terror.”
SPEAKER: Kathy Kelly - Kathy is one of our longtime allies. A participants in numerous hunger strikes, the word "committed" doesn't even begin to describe her peace activism. Kathy is a brilliant organizer, teacher and story teller with, as she says, "the Irish gift," who transforms her years of witnessing in war zones with such illumination and warmth that she uplifts those fortunate to hear her.
SPEAKER: Colleen Kelly a member of Peaceful Tomorrows from early on, Colleen has dedicated many years to the work of witnessing what is going on at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
She believes "there’s a time for righteous moral outrage, just as there’s a time for accountability, and justice. Peaceful Tomorrows helps with these vital goals. But in the end, it’s about love, and my brother Bill. How much he loved and was loved. How much I miss him. And how much I want the world to be a place where last words are never the end result of political violence, but instead reflect a full life well lived."
SPEAKER: Elizabeth Miller is one of our newer members. She was a mere 6 years old when she lost her dad on 9/11.
"As a “9/11 kid” I always felt alone in my calls for peace and concerns for injustice – that both I experienced and people around the world experienced due to the absence of rule of law after 9/11....Peaceful Tomorrows has helped to shape me in the few years I have been a member of the organization. I have traveled to Guantanamo Bay Detention Center to witness the pre-trial hearings.... I am privileged to surround myself with individuals who have kind hearts and strong minds – all dedicated to promoting peace and understanding in the face of a terrible tragedy."
This reflection on 25 years of striving for peace is deeply moving. How do you envision the future impact of your work on new generations? ragdoll playground I'm curious about what lessons have resonated most over the years.

I tried Lottery 7 doing a small withdrawal just to understand the process, and it was completed on the same day through UPI. Just wanted to confirm if the timing is always similar for everyone or if it depends on the amount and verification. I usually prefer keeping deposits low until I understand how everything works properly
Thank you for sharing such a reflective piece on the journey of Peaceful Tomorrows. I appreciate how you connect past traumas to the pursuit of peace. It reminds me oddly of five nights at freddy's, where confronting fears can lead to growth. How do you think engaging with painful memories influences healing in communities?
I enjoyed reading this article because it presents networking concepts in a friendly and approachable way. The information related to 10.0.0.0.1 helped clarify an issue that often causes confusion when accessing router settings.
