Advocating Peace Where Non-Violence Is Not a Community Value

Marsha Lee Baker

Abstract

Since the U.S. invaded Iraq, I see my life as usual-wanting to be on the "frontlines of non-violence," but not always knowing how to get there or what to do. In this narrative, I re-draw my local peace advocacy since 2003 to figure out the frontlines and my endeavors. Though refreshed by my core belief in the mutual dependence of non-violent means and ends, I also have identified close conflict with this idea. Especially where my county, campus, and classroom communities intersect, I live and work where non-violence is not everywhere a community value.
