Four women will engage with audience in a dialogue about our two countries and will explore citizen engagement as a way of finding common ground.

The objective is to build a broad public awareness among Americans and Russians that focuses on developing the knowledge and understandings necessary to address our national challenges with each other.

Our two nations are the guardians of thousands of nuclear weapons. We must take responsibility for controlling and ultimately eliminating these weapons. If even one nuclear weapon is detonated it could most likely start a nuclear volley that could extinguish all life on our planet. We cannot stand aside and allow this to happen.

The visit is sponsored by the Center for Citizen Initiatives (CCI) leaders have worked at the nexus of US-USSR/Russia relationship for 35 years.
