The Power to the Peaceful Global Action Forum & Celebration

On Friday, September 10, join the humanitarian organization CARE and Michael Franti to kick off this year's Power to the Peaceful Festival weekend with the second annual Global Action Forum and Celebration at the legendary Fillmore Theatre in San Francisco. The next day, more than 50,000 people will gather in Golden Gate Park's Speedway Meadow for a day of yoga, music, art and more.

Power the Peaceful was founded by singer, activist, and CARE Ambassador Michael Franti, and is dedicated to the promotion of cultural coexistence, nonviolence and environmental sustainability through the arts and music.

Co-hosted by Power to the Peaceful and CARE, the Global Action Forum & Celebration will feature a screening of the documentary film A Powerful Noise depicting a girls' education crusader from Mali and a peacemaking survivor of the war in Bosnia – two incredibly powerful women who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to bring lasting solutions to their communities. The film will be followed by a panel discussion with leaders in the fight against global poverty including Lauren Hendricks, Executive Director of CARE's Access Africa initiative.

The Forum will close with a reception and celebration featuring an acoustic concert by Michael Franti and friends.
