first event will feature Kathy Kelly, a prominent social activist and co-founder of Voices for Creative Nonviolence in Chicago. Kelly, who has spoken at previous SPAN events, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times. She also is facing a trial in Las Vegas next month stemming from civil disobedience at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada in 2009, organizers said.
Recently back from a fact-finding mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Kelly plans to speak about the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones. Her presentation is called “Drones on Trial: A firsthand account from Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
Kelly will speak at 7 p.m. Sept. 1 in the MCC Conference Center
