Library. Berkeley, CA 94709 Abstract: The Pledge of Resistance began in 1984 in response to the threat of U.S. invasion into Nicaragua. The national structure grew as people signed the pledge resisting the U.S. government's policies toward Central America. Signals for actions were sent out from the national center to the local groups whose members committed civil disobedience and protested policies seen as interventionist and repressive. Groups which worked closely with the Pledge included the Inter-Religious Task Force for Central America, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, the American Friends Service Committee, and the San Francisco Bay Area's Emergency Response Network, and Bay Area Pledge of Resistance.

  • What Is Non-Violence?
    What is and who uses non-violent resistance? (note: This workshop is ideally done in partnership with a guest speaker from an International Peace organization in your area. Every community has one, they may be working unobtrusively, but they do exist! Ask at your local Amnesty International group, or through places of worship, grassroots action groups, Rotary Club, Mission Outreach, etc) Introductory Activity ~ Workshop Activity A: Discuss : Ask the children what types of violence exist in the world. (ie. psychological abuse, economic abuse, intimidation, physical violence, racial violence, religious) What is the difference between discrimination and violence? What does non-violence means to them? Ask the children to give examples from their own experiences of non-violence, ie situations where they were either players or spectators of non-violence. Show the short film that can be found on YouTube : “Be the change you want to see in this world! Mahatma Gandhi” 2:06 A must watch video that teaches us that we should not always have to wait for others or things to happen of their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGyutkBvN2s. Relaxation / Experience Peace: Use quiet music from another ethnic experience. Guide them through imagining another “peaceful situation” ie. Remembering a scene where you either did not respond using nonviolent resistance or that you turned away in order to not respond at all. Now this time, put yourself back into that memory. What was the situation? Location? What was the day like? Weather/ What preceded what you were about to see? What did you witness? Now instead of responding as you did at the time, IMAGINE what sort of nonviolent response you could do.

  • The Chicago ‘Advance Team’: the Evolution of College Activists
    ABSTRACT THE CHICAGO ‘ADVANCE TEAM’: THE EVOLUTION OF COLLEGE ACTIVISTS The tumultuous years of the 1960s evolved from the thaw of the Cold War era. College campuses’ emerging interest in the Civil Rights movement was exacerbated by the escalating violence within the Deep South. By the time events from Selma, Alabama reached the living rooms and college dorm rooms in the North, waves of activism had spread across the nation. This study follows a group of college activists who traveled south, quickly adapted to movement strategy, and forged lifetime friendships while working for Dr. Martin Luther King’s organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Most of the core group stayed in the South in the summer of 1965 after completing non- violence training in Atlanta. Showing exemplary skills and leadership qualities, they would eventually form Rev. James Bevel’s ‘advance team’ within the Chicago Freedom Movement. This ‘elite’ unit fought their own battles against poverty, racism, and violence while in Chicago. Their story is one from below, and captures the heart and spirit of true activism, along with memories of music, rent strikes, a lead-poisoning campaign, and even a love affair, within the Chicago Freedom Movement in 1965-1966.
