PREEMPTIVE NONVIOLENCE NOW

sit-ins: go to your federal government offices, armed forces recruiting centers, weapons companies (boeing, raytheon, lockheed-martin, etc), military bases and SIT IN. there are different risks to doing this in different place, so find your comfort level and push the envelope.

blockades: where is your local national guard located? are they being deployed? where are they going? find out and be there!

shout-outs: find out where your public officials will be appearing in public. if they're pro-war, challenge their position in public.

national moratorium: wednesday, march 5 is the national "stop the war" moratorium--no work, no school, no driving, no business as usual.

ash wednesday: if you are a person of faith who would normally celebrate ash wednesday, move your celebration to a congressional office, weapons company, recruiting center, or whatever.

different acts of civil disobedience carry different risks and penalties, so find your comfort level and PUSH IT.
