Rennie Davis

Rennard Cordon "Rennie" Davis (May 23, 1940 – February 2, 2021) was an American anti-war activist who gained prominence in the 1960s. Davis was one of the Chicago Eight defendants who were indicted following large-scale anti-war demonstrations outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. He played a prominent organizational role in the American anti–Vietnam War protest movement of the 1960s.

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.
