  • Civil disobedience and intentionality with Eric Kirk
    May 16 2024

    The campus encampments of recent weeks protesting Israel's war on Gaza brought to mind civil disobedience campaigns of the past, from Gandhi to MLK Jr.

    My guest today, Eric Kirk, is a veteran of civil disobedience protests himself, and an attorney. He has given legal advice to campus protesters at Cal Poly Humboldt.

    In this episode, he gives some practical advice to aspiring civil disobeyers on how to protest intentionally for maximum impact.

    And avoid head injuries while you're at it.

    Eric Kirk cohosts Redwood Wonk on Access Humboldt, and All Things Reconsidered on KMUD.


    Eric's reading/watching recommendations:

    • Selma
    • Hundred Years War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi
    • Israel, a History by Martin Gilbert
    • Six Principles of Nonviolence: MLK Jr
