Monday, January 20 is not just the date of Trump’s second inauguration: it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. When faced with conflict within her family, retired American diplomat and self-described peacebuilder Danielle Reiff incorporated King’s principles of nonviolence into her own personal life, and the results were transformative. King’s commitment to universal love and nonviolent non-cooperation can apply to family as much as political opponents – or even to oneself. Reiff has spent her life in the service of peace, having supported democratic transitions and peace processes around the world as a diplomat for twenty years. Now she runs Peacebuilders, an initiative to promote nonviolence and unity in diversity in the U.S. during a critical time. Invite her on your program to help your audience learn about the value and power of nonviolence in our own lives and communities. As King’s inspiration Mahatma Gandhi said, “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies of the world would also change.” Contact Danielle at (202) 499-7256; dreiff@rtirguests.com
