The presentation emphasizes Kelly’s life and education in the U.S., her many campaigns and their legacy, and her relevance to the Green movement today.
Guest Speaker: Claire Greensfelder, longtime peace, environment and justice activist, who collaborated with Petra Kelly through their common affiliation with WEDO – The Women’s Environment and Development Organization – an international policy organization founded by former U.S. Congresswoman Bella Abzug in 1991.
