V. Civil Disobedience

! What is it? Noun: the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest. ! Why does it matter? From Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to Gandhi’s Salt March in 1930, to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s 7th of March Speech in 1971, to the Cape Town Peace March in 1989, to the Tiananmen Square Protests in 1989, to the Tibetan Protests in 2009 to present, civil disobedience is the method through which hundreds of people have achieved change. ! Is it happening today? http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/michael-brown-shooting-protesters-trained-civil-disobedience-n224196 Activist Cornel West among 49 people arrested at Ferguson protests. "Today protestors in St. Louis showed the best of our democracy and the St. Louis police demonstrated the worst of their out-of-control law enforcement agency. The police brutalized peaceful people protesting their brutality," the statement said. "With batons and chemical agents they attacked people peacefully sitting on the ground and the reporters who were there with them." At St. Louis University, about 1,000 protesters gathered on campus, using the hashtag #OccupySLU to convince people and businesses to donate supplies or join an all-night sit-in. Early Monday morning,about 80 protesters remained on campus, KMOV reported. "The goal was to occupy SLU and to kind of wake up the campus. I think there's a sense in the community that SLU is kinda shut off from what happens outside of SLU. But this latest incident was six blocks from SLU, so it does affect us," freshman David Gramling told the station. Early Monday morning, about 200 protesters marched from the site where Myers was shot, holding signs that read, "Black lives matter." Police with riot gear showed up on a bridge near the St. Louis University campus. The protesters turned on the other side of the street, stayed on the sidewalk and walked past them. The demonstrations were peaceful, and the protesters said they were serious about keeping them that way. On Sunday, Ferguson October was training protesters in nonviolent civil disobedience. "Nonviolence is really important because you're not going to change someone's mind by being violent. And also there is just so much more power in taking a stand and doing it nonviolently," Jasmin Maurer, who is taking part in the peaceful training, told KPLR. Interested?
