The world stands at the crossroads between the well-trodden road of rising authoritarianism and militarism and an uncharted path of peacebuilding and global cooperation. COVID-19 has exacerbated conflict and fragility around the world, leading to rising violence and decimated economies that will far outlast the virus itself. By some metrics, 25 years of development have been undone in 25 weeks. Additionally, the State Department and USAID are facing these mounting global crises without the resources to address them. U.S. foreign policy needs a major reorientation.
Ursala Knudsen-Latta, of the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), will speak about her recent report Prioritizing Peace: A New U.S. Foreign Policy for a Post-COVID-19 World. Join us to discuss how the U.S. can choose the path less traveled and put peacebuilding at the core of its foreign policy.
As FCNL’s Legislative Representative for Peacebuilding. Ursala lobbies Congress for U.S. foreign policy that prevents, mitigates, and transforms violent conflict and builds sustainable peace. Previously, she has worked with Saferworld, the Alliance for Peacebuilding and Women in International Security, as well as with interfaith organizations. Ursala currently chairs the Advisory Board of STAND, a student- and youth-led movement to end mass atrocities, and previously chaired the U.S. Civil Society Working Group for Women, Peace and Security. She holds an MA in international peace and conflict resolution from American University and a BA in religions and theology from the University of Manchester (U.K.), where she focused on religion and conflict in south Asia.
