Join us on Saturday, December 14 at 9:00am PT / 11:00am CT / 12:00pm ET / 7:00pm Finland for this panel on "Peacebuilding Next to Russia." (Find the time in your time zone.)

Finland and Russia not only share a 1,340-kilometer (833 miles) border, but also a long history. There have been many conflicts and disagreements, many of which have been resolved without violence and war. Now, as tensions build, it is important to hear from advocates for peace, nonviolent resolution to conflicts, and ways to reduce the tension.

  • Claus Montonen, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) – ICAN and nuclear disarmament
  • Ulla Klötzer, Women for Peace, Finland – International Statement from the Peace Conference in St. Petersburg
  • Liisa Taskinen, Peace WG of CP of Finland and European Left - Defense Cooperation Agreement between Finland and the U.S.
  • Ahti Tolvanen, Friends Society (Quakers) of Finland - Pacifism, Alternatives to War, and 50th Anniversary of the Helsinki Conference in 2025
