Mandy Carter

Mandy Carter is a southern Black activist with a 54-year movement history of social, racial, and LGBTQ+ justice organizing since 1967. She attributes the influences of the pacifist-based War Resisters League and the Quaker-based American Friends Service Committee for her sustained multi-racial and multi-issue organizing. Ms. Carter was nominated as part of the 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005 to recognize, make visible and celebrate the valuable, yet often invisible peace work of thousands of women around the world.
