We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible.

I believe in a non-killing future.

The cross to me is complete nonviolence because Jesus said, "Love your enemy. Do not kill." I realized that I could never kill anyone or hurt anyone, but I was committed to trying to bring about social and political and economic change.

To enable consensus politics to develop we need to empower people where they live. This means devolving financial resources and political power down to the community level. One of the greatest blocks to movement is fear. This fear can only be removed when people feel their voices are being heard by government and when they have a say in their own lives and communities.

The fact is that the American government and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. Their next targets will be Syria and Iran.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war.
