WE Rotary eClub for International Peace assembled a 2025/26 speaker lineup so luminous it would have lit up the UN General Assembly. From Ray Matsumiya's quiet Peace Parking in Taipei to JZ's frequency-shifting eco-joyous mystique, the roster spans peacebuilders, policy makers, philanthropists, Game designers, social change agents, authors, climate warriors, legal eagles, educators, healers, filmmakers, nuclear abolitionists, and at least one person whose last name is literally "Light" (Quanta Dawn, we see you).
Kat Haber drove a Tesla across America for 15,000 miles to prove EV's work. Arthur Kanegis makes films about the unthinkable so we'll actually think about it. Al Jubitz funds peace like it's a growth stock. David Gershon has been empowering communities since before "sustainability" was a buzzword. Dr. Sailesh Rao quit engineering to save cows and the planet simultaneously. Harriett Sugarman teaches kids that democracy isn't optional. Kirthi Jayakumar draws AI connections. Stephen, Kyra & Amara Fantl showed up as a whole family unit because peace is apparently a team sport. Together, 50 voices from seven countries represented every best argument that humanity might just figure this out, preferably before lunch. President Kat says, "Nancy, Beverly, and Naomi: we are so grateful you're on our team. Together, you are proof that peace work doesn't have to be grim. It can be joyful, elegant, wise, and occasionally hilarious, which is exactly the energy this club runs on. Thank you. From the bottom of our collective, internationally-scattered, Zoom-fatigued hearts."
