  1. Please also consider Pax Christi Northern California’s Peacemaker of the Year Award activist Vivian Zelaya, a supporter of Palestinian rights, nuclear disarmament, and preventing violence in Latin America, among other efforts. Johnny Zokovich and Roxana Bendezú are visiting as guest speakers for Pax Christi USA, and Rev. George C.L. Cummings will be speaking on the Ceasefire Violence Reduction model to reduce homicide by guns in urban settings. Donna Lack of the local Hesed Community will also lead the gathering in meditation. October 15th 8:30-12:30 at Newman Hall/Holy Spirit Parish in Berkeley – see paxchristinorcal.org for details.
