PETRA KELLY – ACT NOW!

Petra Kelly was one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century. For her, feminism, environmental activism, peace and human rights issues were one. She was the figurehead of the peace movement in the 70s and 80s and co-founder of the first Green Party in Germany. She fought relentlessly for radical social change, feminism, disarmament and a society at one with nature. Petra Kelly firmly believed that a single person could change the world. Her far-sighted transnational thinking and global action, her commitment to peace and human rights beyond the East-West bloc thinking of the time – all of this makes her an icon for the 21st century.
