#911to1111 #FromTerrorToPeace

On this 13th anniversary of 9/11, this solemn day of remembrance and reflection, let us resolve to change the present paradigm of fear, endless war and destruction of liberty. Let us begin a new journey to redefine “National Security” to be truly reflective of our practical aspirations and “Human Security” needs: Food Security, Water Security, Economic Security, Job Security, Health Security, Education Security, Environmental Security, and Peace. During the next 2 months, from 9/11 (Terror) to 11/11 (Armistice), Elizabeth and I will be making national appearances to begin a conversation to redefine national security around these important topics.

Last night, on the eve of 9/11 we witnessed a replay of the official response that cast us as helpless players in an ever-widening cycle of warfare. We reject endless, mindless war. Yes, we live in an uncertain world, but we can be certain of our own choices and their consequences. Let us create new paths toward self-empowerment, towards transformational courage. We hope you will join us in the upcoming months in Iowa (Occupy the World Food Prize in Des Moines, & Redefining National Security events), New York (Climate Change Conference), Oregon (Food Security & GMO Labeling), Southern and Northern California (Peace & the Middle East, 5K walks for UNRWA), Colorado (Food Security & GMO Labeling) and others to follow. All details of our appearances and the topics will be posted and shared on our Facebook events pages.
