June 2023 "Choosing Life" Let's meet Leslie and talk about peace!
The special online event was successfully completed. We are grateful that many people joined the event. It was a great opportunity to talk about peace and peacemaking and to emphasize with each other across borders.
Leslie says: "My belief is that looking at nuclear weapons at the scale of individual human lives may be effective to convince people of the need to ban such horrors in a way that political arguments have not been."
