As the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. approaches, PEACE TALKS RADIO checks in with members of the organization "9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows," founded by family members of those killed on September 11th. We'll hear from people who have united to turn their grief into action for peace. By developing and advocating nonviolent options and actions in the pursuit of justice, the organization says its aim is to break the cycles of violence engendered by war and terrorism. By acknowledging their common experience with all people affected by violence throughout the world, these survivors of tragedy work to create a safer and more peaceful world for everyone.

Carol Boss hosts the discussion with Terry Kay Rockefeller, Bruce Wallace and Anne Mulderry, all members of "9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows." In addition to sharing their moving stories about that tragic day, our guests discuss their process of transforming their grief into action for peace, and describing some of their peace actions and projects.
