Pace e Bene Australia are very excited to announce the ‘Inspiritor’ NationalSpeaker for 2011 is Kathy Kelly, anAmerican peace activist who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times. She iscoordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence.

Kathy has been described as "probably the most respected leader in the American peace movement."

Between 1996 and 2003 Kathy and her companions formed 70 delegations that openly defied economic sanctions by bringing medicines to children and families in Iraq. They lived in Baghdad throughout the 2003 “Shock and Awe” bombing. In 2009, she lived in Gaza during the Operation Cast Lead bombing; later that year, Voices formed another small delegation to visit Pakistan, aiming to learn more about the effects of U.S. drone warfare on the civilian population and to better understand consequences of U.S. foreign policy in Pakistan. Kathy’s most recent trip to the region, in 2010, included a visit to Afghanistan, focusing on surgical centers serving victims of war.
