What can we learn from these resisters to militarism?
Posted December 21st, 2007 by sdiener
Many of the articles in this issue describe risks people are taking, here and around the world, to resist militarism, including:
- Pakistanis resisting a militarist subversion of the Pakistani Constitution
- Conscientious Objection in Turkey: Struggling to Emerge
- The Suffering CO of Baghdad
- Military Shipments Obstructed: Olympia Activists Nonviolently Blockade Port
- Consequences of War Enacted at Blackwater Headquarters
- What Do You Do When a Child is Burning?: A review of the film The Camden 28 (and Father Doyle's Opening Statement at Trial)
What insights they offer or risks they took inspire you?
How and what might we learn from their approaches, their tactics, the principles they espouse and try to act out?
What ideas do you have to build upon and/or improve upon these actions?
What kinds of risk are you considering to take to resist militarism?
