Linda Sartor: Former NP peacekeeper in Sri Lanka and author of Turning Fear into Power: One Women's Journey Confronting the War on Terror

Linda's work is inspired by Gandhi's creative program-focusing on creating models for what we do want as opposed to protesting what we don't want. After 9/11 Linda felt she could not sit still and this inspired her to take action. She spent the next ten years of her life travelling to conflict zones working as unarmed peacekeeper. This included roles from protective accompaniment to directly interpositioning between conflicting parties. Linda Sartor worked with Nonviolent Peaceforce in Sri Lanka from 2003-2008 and continued her nonviolent work in Israel/Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Bahrain.
