In partnership with the American Leadership Forum of Silicon Valley, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, and Global Exchange, VivaFest Presents a rare opportunity to hear the man the New York Times called Mexico’s “savior” – peace activist and poet Javier Sicilia – discuss the emerging peace movement in Mexico and it’s impact on US/Mexico relations. Joining Javier for this important dialogue will be CNN commentator Ruben Navarette, LA Times columnist Ruben Martinez and border troubadors Ronstadt Generations.

Find out how the movement for non-violent change is impacting policy and community initiatives on both sides of the border with the activists who are leading Mexico’s “Spring of Peace.”
