Gareth Smith in Australia will join hunger strike for 7 days

Gareth Smith, president of „Byron People for Peace and Justice“ from Byron Bay, Australia will join the resistance against the  Saturday for a 7 day hunger strike.Here is Gareth’s comments about the strike: „I will join you on Saturday for a 7-day hunger strike as President of Byron People for Peace and Justice.

From my Christian days I remember an inspiring verse: 'For God has used the base things of this world to confound the mighty'; may this be true of the present campaign.

You know, Bruce, when I think of all us baby boomers who have reached the 50-70 age range and consider that in most cases we don't have the worry of losing a job/promotion, don't have a mortgage, have children off our hands, there is no sound reason why our group should not be the most vigorously active for peace and disarmament in the world.

I want to reach retirement homes and displace the people from the golf courses onto the streets - bannerize them! Good luck as you step away from the plate!“
