WHY A SILENT SIT-IN?

We will refuse to speak because the unspeakable will be unfolding in Iraq -- unspeakable acts directed from Canada’s War Dept. and the US Pentagon. Our silence and peace will be a stark contrast to the media noise of war and mass murder. It will be a strong, forceful expression of disapproval, of non-cooperation. Our physical presence, through nonviolence, is the alternative: solid, deeply felt love for the victims of war, and compassion and love for our opponents -- those making war who are divided from the best part of themselves. It is only by making ourselves accessible to them that they will come to us to dialogue, to get answers to questions, to find solutions that do not involve murder.
