Climate change camps are training a new wave of eco-warriors. This August, over 1,000 people gathered near the Alsatian town of Kingersheim, France to participate in the third edition of a two-week-long training camp put together by three environmental groups, Alternatiba, Friends of the Earth and ANV-COP21.
Outside the venue, camp attendees joyfully practiced their freshly minted demonstration skills and waved colorful placards of their own design before phalanxes of fake police officers. "Some people here in the camp are soon going to be on trial," said Pauline Boyer, an organizer of the Kingersheim camp. She was referring to environmental activists who, in protest at what they see as weak climate policy, walked into city halls across the country this summer to illegally remove over 100 portraits of French President Emmanuel Macron from the walls. The idea is that the empty space where the photographs used to hang are a symbol the Macron government's dereliction of duty when it comes to climate change. A growing movement A threat to public order? The Problem Is Civil Obedience. NONVIOLENCE, 20 May 2019 Howard Zinn | Zinn Reader – TRANSCEND Media Service By the latter part of May, 1970, feelings about the war in Vietnam had become almost unbearably intense.
In Boston, about a hundred of us decided to sit down at the Boston Army Base and block the road used by buses carrying draftees off to military duty. We were not so daft that we thought we were stopping the flow of soldiers to Vietnam; it was a symbolic act, a statement, a piece of guerrilla the after. I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail and the wrong people are out of jail, that the wrong people are in power and the wrong people are out of power, that the wealth is distributed in this country and the world in such a way as not simply to require small reform but to require a drastic reallocation of wealth. Now, I have been studying very closely what happens every day in the courts in Boston, Massachusetts.

Cet article est disponible en français. One of my most popular courses at Swarthmore College focused on the challenge of how to defend against terrorism, nonviolently. Events now unfolding in France make our course more relevant than ever. (The syllabus was published in “Peace, Justice, and Security Studies: A Curriculum Guide” in 2009.)
In fact, the international post-9/11 “war against terror” has been accompanied by increased actual threats of terror almost everywhere. In the first place, who knew that non-military techniques have, in actual historical cases, reduced the threat of terror? I gathered for the students eight non-military techniques that have worked for some country or other. Each student chose a country somewhere in the world that is presently threatened by terrorism and, taking the role of a consultant to that country, devised from our nonviolent toolbox a strategy for defense. It was tough work, and highly stimulating. What are the eight techniques? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The Center for Nonviolent Communication | Center for Nonviolent Communication. King Institute Home.
