• Rennie Davis embodies what it means to show up for Peace. Rennie is best known as an American anti-war activist of the 1960s. The Vice President of the United States once called him the most dangerous man in America. He coordinated the demonstrations in Chicago in 1968 watched on television by more people than watched the first man landing on the moon. He was indicted for that demonstration and became one of the Chicago 7, described by the NY Times as the most significant political trial in American history. The trial of the Chicago 7 is also a Dreamworks movie that will be released October 16. In the early 1970s, Davis became a follower of Guru Maharaj Ji (Prem Rawat) and his Divine Light Mission. He began to travel as a spiritual lecturer. He also became a venture capitalist and founded the Foundation for a New Humanity to combine these goals. Thank you for your constant envisioning of a more peaceful world, Rennie! The #WholePersonActivationSeries is amplified by your voice and experiences.
