News and commentary about nonviolence in action. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Thoughts on Occupy: the method is the goal. A few thoughts about the Occupy Movement:. I am very impressed with the breadth of creativity in tactics and expression. I love all the kinds of art forms that participants have been using. I was an occupier on the first day and took part in a street theatre action, and it felt right to be using the creative arts right from the beginning. This is where I think the nonviolent methods us...

makingpeace: June 2010
http://makingpeace-in-austin.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
News and commentary about nonviolence in action. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. From Hummer to handlebars. It's been good riding my bike longer distances this week. Longer daylight, longer miles and longer looks at the scenery. In this spirit, I like this piece by Medea Benjamin about the burial/transformation of the Hummer during the US Social Forum in Detroit. The Hummer Is Dead. And We Buried It. Campaigns like that of CODEPINK raised awareness and shamed many a consumer from driving a Hummer. The Humm...

News and commentary about nonviolence in action. Monday, January 17, 2011. What MLK might have told us today. Good piece by Jim Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Right Project:.

Do they not hear my lament about the racial barriers in education? Instead, they focus only on the "safe" part of my life, not my voice lift...

News and commentary about nonviolence in action. Friday, February 11, 2011. Victory of Nonviolence in Egypt. I am absolutely elated by the triumph of nonviolent people power in Egypt! When tyranny is overcome through the power of nonviolence, there is no sweeter victory. Now, will this obvious lesson also be learned by the Pentagon? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

News and commentary about nonviolence in action. Thursday, March 18, 2010. Gene Stoltzfus, man of Spring. I've been thinking so much this week about Gene Stoltzfus, remembering some of the things he said during his several visits to Austin in recent years. I've been re-reading his blog posts and the moving testimonials written about him. The final time I saw Gene was last October, when he was a guest speaker at the second annual Assembly to Honor Freedom of Conscience, organized chiefly by members of the...
