Southeast Gatherings
The Southeast Gathering of War Tax Resisters was held in collaboration with the annual Alternative New Year's in St. Mary's, Georgia. About 50 persons participated throughout the event from regional groups and networks such as Nukewatch South, Pax Christi, Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice, WRL Asheville, Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition, Vine and Fig Tree (Al.), Earthhaven Eco Village (NC), Aiken Peace, Carolina Peace Resource Center (SC), and WTRs from the southern states—and Canada! Dave Matos of Aiken Peace (SC), along with Coleman Smith and Clare Hanrahan, regional organizers with WRL Asheville, planned weekend workshops to reflect the overlapping issues of disarmament, sustainability, and war tax resistance, with discussions on how to escalate the force of nonviolent action in the heavily militarized south.
Contact WRL Asheville if you would like to attend or help organize the next regional gathering.
