The Sacramento Bee — sacbee.com — New anti-war effort takes shape
Today’s anti-war activism flows from what has become a semi-permanent infrastructure of protest — a “culture of protest,” as Sheridan called it. The Quaker-based “Friends” date back to World War I. Peace Action, with 80,000 members and a chapter in Sacramento, has been active since the Gulf War. Then there are the thousands of Vietnam War-era protesters who have remained active on local issues and who are turning out to assist the new movement, organizers say.
Medea Benjamin isn’t the only protestor without portfolio – this article says it’s a whole industry, flitting from issue to issue, or excuse to excuse. Well, marching is fun.
