Hello friends from Dinesh's tour,

Sorry for the group email, and also sorry if I didn't include everyone I should have! As some of you have already heard, Krishna Pahadi, chairman of the Human Rights and Peace Society, will be visiting the US starting Nov. 6 for about 10 days. Amnesty USA has invited him to be keynote speaker for AIUSA's Northeast regional meeting in Boston Nov. 12, and he will also visit NY and DC. Schedule will approximately be: New York Nov. 7- 9, Boston Nov. 10- 12, Washington Nov. 13- 16

(DC dates might possibly change).

During Krishna's time here, he will be doing a combination of public talks, meetings with govt people, media, and NGOs. Boston public talks are already being organized. Krishna has already been in touch with Nepalis he knows in NY and DC about possible events in those cities. The NY and DC Amnesty offices will be helping, and there are some local Amnesty groups who are very interested. It would be good if we can all be coordinated about possible events. Especially NY and DC people, please let me know if you are interested in helping or organizing something, or if you know of plans already being talked about.

Many thanks,
_______

I think it would be great to organize a coordinated public speaking events for Krishna Pahadi. We were together for a day and half in Delhi recently. He's the most committed and undeniably one of the most publicly trusted democracy activists in Nepal.

Best regards,
Dinesh

Dear Julia,

Girish ji (nepalipost) and myself (SEBS-North America) would like to coordinate the event. We have started to scout for venues. I would also like to request involvement of our friends and colleagues from Advocacynet, Peace Brigade, Human Rights Watch and other local Nepali Organizations as well.

We are hopeful that this event will reach a wider audience group.

In addition to helping him with the crucial lobbying, could Amnesty host him here in Washington for a talk? Is T Kumar involved? That'd be ideal in terms of outreach.

If not, I can get the conference space at my work (the Institute for Policy Studies) and we can start advertising the event from tomorrow!

Kiran, did you have something in mind for the Nepali diaspora as well? Let's coordinate.

You all are awesome! Thanks for so many quick responses.

For DC event, Kiran and Giresh want to coordinate. Great! Could you please be in touch with T Kumar in AI's DC office, I'll send info separately. We hope that DC local AI groups will want to be involved too.

For NY, we are still looking into possibilities with AI groups at the different universities, so will let you know more on that soon.

Good idea to video events.

More soon,
_____
