Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA) sponsored "A Conversation with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn: Building a Movement for Peace in our Time" at King Middle School in Berkeley on Sunday, February 22nd, 2009.

Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are former leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground. Both continue to be social justice activists; Bill is an educator and author, and Bernadine directs the Children and Family Justice Center in Chicago. In the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign, Bill Ayers was used as a vehicle to attack Barack Obama for "palling around with terrorists" as the two had crossed paths in Chicago via charitable foundations such as the Annenberg Challenge Project and the Woods Fund.

Barbara Lubin of MECA introduced Rick Ayers, who in turn introduced his brother and sister-in-law.
