The 34th Annual Salem Peace Lecture will feature the Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, co chair of the national Poor People’s Campaign on Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30 pm. It will be held at Hudson Hall in the Rogers Music Center at Willamette University. Her talk is titled “Peace, Peace When There is No Peace: Addressing Poverty, Racism and Militarism from the Bottom Up.”

Also this year the Salem Peace Lecture Committee will honor Ron Steiner and Frank Thompson with its annual “Peacemaker of the Year Award”, in recognition of their efforts to repeal the death penalty both locally and nationally.
