“Who are the disturbers of the peace? Those who make money selling the high-tech weapons systems to impoverished countries. Those who believe that violence is a legitimate means to deal with differences. Those who see violence as a form of entertainment.
“At a deeper level, Mahatma Gandhi was also a “disturber of the peace”. So was Martin Luther King. So was Vaclav Havel. So are you.
“It is time for us to shake up the status quo, to do more than “talk” about peace, to do more than just live personally peaceful lives. It is time for you to APPLY what you know about peace and nonviolence – to create a world that works for all.
“Learn how to become a “disturber of the peace” like Gandhi, King and Havel.”
Sharif Abdullah invites everyone to participate in “Disturbing the Peace,” an on-line interactive event that is part of Peace Week, “the largest virtual peace summit ever created.”
“Disturbing the Peace” is scheduled for September 15 at 12:30 Pacific time, and lasts 30 minutes. And it’s FREE!
