Activism is about standing up for ourselves. There is a multitude of bad laws, self serving legislators and executives we have to contend with before our planet can survive and thrive. Nature is worth it and so are we. Peace is the way to heal war. Our planet depends on us. We have to heal and change minds to save lives. Use the sword of truth to slay ignorance and obstruction to health, wealth and prosperity. |

| In 1961 Dagmar Wilson founded Women Strike for Peace, a national network largely composed of middle-class, well-educated wives and mothers to protest the Cold War buildup of nuclear arms arsenals. (Stephen Northup / Washington Post) The protesters were not radicals, although Red hunters tried to portray them as such and failed miserably. They were, like Wilson, well educated, middle-class women in white gloves and tasteful hats who were impelled by fears of radioactive milk and impatience with the men who ran peace groups and governments. "You know how men are. They talk in abstractions and the technicalities of the bomb, almost as if this were all a game of chess. Well, it isn't," Wilson said shortly after the protest. "There are times, it seems to me, when the only thing to do is let out a loud scream.... Just women raising a hue and cry against nuclear weapons for all of them to cut it out."

Quotes on Activism
“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.” Henry David Thoreau

 “Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth.” William Faulkner |
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Martin Luther King Jr. “One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change,” King said in a speech near the Washington Monument in 1968, on the dangers of neglecting important social issues. As a Baptist minister and social activist, King was a prominent leader of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. His speeches and legacy continue to inspire activists to pursue political and social change. |

|
Jack taught us that we should always continue learning, continue to become knowledgeable and excel in our abilities to educate WE THE PEOPLE without having to be mean about it or getting stressed or angry when giving the information to uneducated people. We used to be so upset after learning the truth about marijuana that we tended to get heated up when trying to discuss something with dumb ass and ignorant, (not knowing,) people that were young, old and every age in between. Jack taught us to present truthful facts and documentation, but not be confrontational. After all, he reasoned, we have the proof now, we don't have to be confrontational or upset, we have the proof. No one can deny it. This strategy worked. We spread the word in the best possible way, palatable to all the straight people who were afraid of us telling the truth about pot. They could not admit they were wrong and thus have to recognize the cognitive dissonance in their thinking, way of life and complicity in continuing a war against people telling the truth. Jack taught us to never back down from the truth and to slay all prohibitionist dragons with information that can not be disputed. He inspired us to learn the facts and the proof, so emotions would not complicate this already explosive subject. No one ever claimed his $10,000 challenge for acquiring proof that his information was false. I used to love watching prohibitionists, law enforcement, doctors, lawyers, politicians, alkies, cancer cigarette smokers, and parents with kids get obliterated in every single argument they came up with that stemmed from their limited understanding and knowledge of the evidence. Jack was kind to people, if they really were ignorant, (not knowing) and infinitely passionate about disproving our corrupt, inhumane government for continuing this unconscionable, treasonous war against us. He was intent to abolish the The Drug War System. Even though he helped in the beginning legalization legislation in California he knew it would bring unwanted control and regulation from our persecutors. Insults never came close to touching us, after all, we had the truth on our side, but it didn't stop us from the horrid criticism regularly heaped on our personal integrity by people desperate to keep pushing all the lies, deception and misinformation to justify keeping marijuana illegal. They didn't even suspect that it was their integrity that was in question, and still is. The time to abolish this unconstitutional, highly illegal, antiquated way of milking the American People for CASH to carry on their illegal, unconstitutional wars around the world, and capturing our BODIES to fill up their (should be illegal) prisons for profit. We are not their chattel to dispense with as they please. We the People are insane to pay these degenerates our tax paying dollars to continue the Drug War against U.S. |
