World Beyond War

Second hour of a 2-part visit with war tax resistance (WTR) activists. Each of the 4 people has changed their life to conscientiously refuse to pay for bullets, guns, bombs, and war, and they've worked to call attention to the fact that about half of every income tax dollar goes to the military. Around April 15^th American's dollars are conscripted through taxation, and these 4 guests have said 'no'.

David Eberhardt was one of the Baltimore Four, along with Phil Berrigan, and David spent 21 months in prison for pouring blood on Selective Service draft records.

This week’s Spirit in Action has been adapted from a recording of a webinar on July 7 hosted by the Canadian No New Fighter Jets Coalition, who are working to stop the Canadian government from purchasing 88 new fighter jets.

Our guest is David Hartsough, author of Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist, a wonderful book combining the stories and inspiration for a better world that David has lived out and been witness to.
