Action
“…beat the gong of revolt, and stop with fugitives and them that plot and conspire.”
–Walt Whitman

Wall Street Occupation

July 31st, 2003, Qalqilya, Occupied Palestine: On the day that the Israeli army announced the completion of Stage 1 of their wall, we launched a nonviolent direct action, which featured a high flying banner, the first graffiti on the wall, and hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists trying to greet each other from opposite sides of a gate blockaded by tanks and soldiers.

September 12, 2002: Earth to Bush Action. This is the day that President George W. Bush first argued before the UN that we must wage war in Iraq.

Esperanza Blockade: In 1999, we created a six-month blockade to defend a community garden in the East Village. Homesteaders, anarcho-punks, environmentalists, students and others tended a bonfire and erected an aerial fort in the shape of el coqui, a frog that in scares away invaders in Puerto Rican legends. Defying court orders, Mayor Giuliani sent hundreds of police officers to remove us, along with a bulldozer to raze the garden. As a result, the judge in the case, along with the state attorney general, Elliot Spitzer, were so enraged that they put a temporary moratorium on the destruction of all community gardens in New York.
