Medea Benjamin: Co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK. She has been an advocate for social justice for 50 years. Described as "one of America's most committed -- and most effective -- fighters for human rights" by New York Newsday, and "one of the high-profile leaders of the peace movement" by the Los Angeles Times, she is the author of ten books. Her most recent, coauthored with Nicolas J.S. Davies, is entitled War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict.
Bill McKibben: A major figure in the Climate Justice Movement, Bill is a contributing writer to The New Yorker, and founder of the first global grassroots climate campaign, 350.org. He is the Schumann Distinguished Professor in Residence at Middlebury College in Vermont. He has written over a dozen books about the environment, including his first, The End of Nature, published in 1989. He will have just finished attending the UN's Global Climate Conference (COP27) in Egypt.
“As we move into the post-election period with new challenges, we are thrilled to have such an outstanding group of speakers for our 42nd Annual Conference and Multifaith Service for Peace. We encourage all interested people to attend the Multifaith Service and/or Conference for Peace to be more empowered to effectively advocate for peace policies,” said the Rev. Robert Moore, CFPA Executive Director.
