Nicaragua

Planning is underway for our 2010 Peace Awards. This year’s theme is Peace of the Action!  Just as in years past, choosing recipients for our International Pfeffer, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Local Nyack Area Peace Awards (from over 50 nominations) proved to be a formidable challenge.

This year’s winners are: Scott Kennedy, co-founder and Middle East Program Coordinator for Resource Center for Nonviolence; Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE Pink and Global Exchange; and Drs. Tashi Dolma and Tashi Rabten, founders of the Tibetan Home of Hope.
