Statement regarding the Courageous Resister Award
Sunday, August 8, 2004
After reading the official letter on the Courageous Resister Award along with the list of past recipients, my first reaction was that of embarrassment - I see that so many people have sacrificed so much in their very own ways of resistance- Recipients and otherwise have spent decades in prison, have devoted their whole lives to resistance, have been executed for resisting, for standing up to authority, for not conforming, for struggling for peace and justice.
