TESTIMONY: "On Genocide, Democracy and Responsibility"

On trial, with four others, for criminal trespassing (at the office of our congressman, May 10, 2024):

This afternoon, we were many.  In our little state.  In our little courtroom.  We were many.

We were Jewish and Christian and Muslim.  We were Palestinian.  We were secular activists, shaped by decades of activism and peacemaking.  We were practitioners of nonviolence and teachers, too. 

We packed that little courtroom with love, resistance, tears and power.  And we made it clear: "We shall not / we shall not be moved."

Here's my testimony, developed over time with so many friends and colleagues, offered at today's trial of the Mothers' Day Five:  READ DAVE'S TESTIMONY HERE.
