Democracy Under Fire Conference Program, May 2022

Updated: Apr 22, 2022

We are glad to announce that we are able to hold our Peace Conference, especially after needing to postpone it in October 2021.

We are entering what is being called a Zeitenwende (a New Epoche). The timeless Keokuk Peace Letters from 1932 give answers to the challenges that Eastern Europe and especially Ukraine are facing in these tragic days.

Our "Democracy Under Fire" Conference in Northfield, Minnesota will take place from May 23-27, 2022. With an international group of friends we will develop new concepts & ideas on supporting democracy in Eastern Europe, offering help to all the new refugees from violence, and assisting Ukraine. "Peace Letters meet Star Peace" on Wednesday, May 25 will be a highlight of the conference, and on May 27 a children's choir will serenade Dr. Henry Kissinger on his 99th birthday.

You are cordially invited to familiarize yourselves with the diverse conference program and to register via Eventbrite. The conference will also be presented via Livestream on YouTube, and a link for the stream will be emailed.

(International guests must use PayPal & a credit card on Eventbrite; new accounts are not required.)

The question that confronts us today is the same as in 1931-32: Do our leaders have the capacity to reach beyond their grasp, to challenge us to seek the higher angels of nature, to choose "Be informed! Be informed!" rather than "Be afraid! Be afraid!" In the end, however, we know that world peace is too important to be left in the hands of our leaders. Peace starts in our own back yards when we speak our for understanding when their is disharmony, food security where there is hunger, health care where there is disease, education where there is illiteracy, conservation where there is environmental harm, sustainable development where there is poverty ... and when we write letters across border to build goodwill and better friendships. - William Tubbs (2019)
