SUMMARY:ALLIANCE PROGRAM From Guerilla to Grandmother: An Evening with Peace Activist Katherine Power
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Power\, author of SURRENDER: My Journey from Guerilla to Grandmother\, will join us to share her story and talk with us about taking action to bring about change.

Her previous book\, Doing Time: Papers from Framingham Prison\, is available from Nighthawk Press. \nAll are welcome to Alliance events!
