Who Will Be the Next Cindy Sheehan?
Shira
Memorial Day brought the news that anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is retiring from the movement. In her interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now!, Cindy explains the numerous reasons why she’s shutting down Camp Casey for the time being.
When I heard the news I was sad, of course, but also inspired to take my efforts up a notch. If this war is ever going to end, we all need to do our part. Looking for inspiration? Check out Staging War on Gothamist. The documentary short captures a series of street performances staged by members of Iraq Veterans Against the War to raise awareness about what it means to be at war. There are also some strong shorts about war and peace in the newly launched seventh annual Media That Matters Film Festival: Power Up and By-Standing: The Beginning of an American Lifetime.
