Peacemaker will speak Friday at DCC
A lively evening of storytelling Friday by international peacemaker Rick Ufford-Chase will address the impact of global debt and structural adjustment programs on local economies across Latin America and the United States. His talk will highlight what it looks like to be a part of the global 99 percent, a local organizer said.
The program starts at 7 p.m. Friday in the sanctuary at Davis Community Church, 412 C St. It is free and will be appropriate for high school students through older adults.
A special focus will be the intersection between faith and the powerful forces underlying south-to-north immigration trends, and the economic dislocation caused by free trade agreements across the western hemisphere.
Ufford-Chase is co-founder of BorderLinks, which provides emergency rescue for economic migrants in the Arizona-Sonora desert borderlands, and develops economic alternatives for citizens in northern Mexico who are caught on the underside of the global economy.
He is the director of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, working on applying techniques of nonviolent direct intervention in communities across the United States and around the world.
He lives in a multi-faith community at Stony Point Center near New York City. For more information, contact Jewel Payne at [email protected].
