7pm: Acapeeps Peace Concert & Akiko Hart of Liberty on Human Rights, Social Justice and Peace

Eleanor Holliday's Acapeeps Community Choir will sing peace, justice and protest songs from many traditions and eras. They meet weekly in Stroud and sing in 4 part harmony. Ellie says that, “We use our collective voices to send peace and positive vibrations out into the world.” She found the first Stroud Peace Fair so moving and significant, that she asked, ‘When can we sing again at another Peace Fair?”

Acapeeps will bookend a keynote talk and Q & A by Akiko Hart, Director of Liberty, on Human Rights Peace and Social Justice.

Liberty is the UK’s leading civil liberties and human rights organisation. Since 1934, Liberty has challenged injustice, defended freedom, and campaigned for everyone in the UK to be treated fairly, with dignity and respect. They are independent, principled and evidence-led, campaigning in the courts, in Parliament and in public debate to protect our rights and freedoms - not least the rights to peaceful protest, jury trial and freedom of assembly.

Alice Jolly, author of The Matchbox Girl, will chair.

Ballroom: 7-8.45pm
