2007: Luis Antonio Pasquetti, Landless Workers Movement
A highlight of our 6th annual party was our special guest Luis Antonio Pasquetti, a leader of the Landless Workers Movement, one of the largest social movements in Latin America and a Small Planet Fund core grantee. At the annual bash, guests drank and dined on local organic food and wine, while bidding on silent and live auction items, and enjoying an impromptu rendition of Puff the Magic Dragon by guest Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul, and Mary) and his daughter Bethany.

We were honored to welcome our special guest, Dr. Vandana Shiva of the Research Foundation on Science, Technology, and Ecology, who joined us for an intimate pre-party Living Democracy Cocktail Hour.

Other special guests have included:
