The Power to the Peaceful Global Action Forum & Celebration
A movement is underway to end global poverty. On Sunday, September 13, at the Power to the Peaceful Global Action Forum & Celebration, join Bay Area singer and activist Michael Franti, the leading humanitarian organization, CARE, and local luminaries from academia, civic and social organizations, and the arts for conversations about how to take meaningful action on behalf of the world’s poor. Learn from local and international social change practitioners about critical global issues including girls’ education and empowerment, climate change, and hunger and food security.
Featuring representatives from CARE, Back to Earth, the Office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Potentia Foundation, Room to Read, Spark, UC Berkeley, and Vitamin Angels, as well as artists, dancers, musicians and more, this one-of-a-kind event will provide the information and inspiration needed to make positive change at the local level for the more than two billion people around the world who live on less than $2 per day.
The event will culminate with an evening reception featuring an acoustic concert by Michael Franti and friends, presentation of the Stay Human award to a celebrated humanitarian, and much more.
