#Bring BackOurPeace IF YOU LIVE IN THE CARSON AREA, OR LOS ANGELES, PLEASE ATTEND if you can. THIS INFO CAME TO ME TOO LATE... Nigerian schoolgirl crisis sparks LA social justice awareness rally What: Bring Back Our Peace Now In light of the recent Nigerian kidnapping, the purpose of this social-issue awareness forum is to address human trafficking, women’s rights and religious conflict happening right here in “our backyard.” The forum will feature a proposal of solutions from local NGOs and leaders of varying backgrounds through a guest panel discussion. Who: Hosting the event is Heavenly Culture, World Peace (HWPL), an international NGO with a branch in Los Angeles that promotes peace initiatives through culture, arts, policy, and religion for the cessation of war. The Chairman of HWPL is Korean War veteran Mr. M.H. Lee. At 84-years old, Mr. Lee is traveling to meet ambassadors, religious officials and youth to dialogue about peacebuilding & nonviolence and to sign the “HWPL Peace Agreement,” which has received over 300 signatures from 72 countries. In attendance will be: Local victim spokespersons of human trafficking Dr. Uche Ugwueze, CSULB Professor of Africana Studies Elizabeth Bankole, President of CSULB Nigerian Students Association Moshe Sayada, Director of Special Effects for Terminator series Nora Graves, Regional Director of PeaceCorps Janice Schaefer, City of Carson Planning Commissioner Daniel Valdez, City of Carson Public Works Commission Patricia Villasenor, Executive Director of the City of Los Angeles Commission on the Status of Women Bridget Brigitte McDonald III, Ph. D., Director of Women’s International Center Hanne H. Feller, Director of Passport 2 Freedom Argo Sultani, President of Afghan Student Union at UCI Venerable Dr. Pannavati, Co- Founder, Co-Abbot of Embracing-Simplicity Hermitage Imam Adel, Masjid Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Los Angeles Where: Carson Event Center: 801 East Carson St, Carson, CA 90745 When: Thursday, May 22, 2014, 7:00PM Why: HWPL and Chairman Lee are actively campaigning for humanitarian issues and addressing the pivotal role of religion in achieving peace. HWPL believes that if we gather together now to address religious conflict, we can affect real solutions for peace in Southern California. “It is not heaven’s will to create division and conflict, nor a principle that weshould fight one another,” said Lee. “If these presidents and leaders truly care about their nations, they would work together to establish an international law for the cessation of war and violence,” said Lee. In September, HWPL will continue the conversation of peace by hosting a summit gathering world leaders for peace. Many leaders Chairman Lee has met have supported and expressed their interest in attending. ## Our website: peace-today.org/ Our promotional video: https://youtube/watch?v=z7hlTHIjkgw -- Jennifer Kim LA Correspondent Heavenly Culture, World Peace (HWPL) T: +1 562-667-7273 E: kimsjenn@gmail
