Episode description

While I was "witnessing" the actions of Witness Against Torture's to end the Guantanamo Prison in Cuba in January this year, I sat down with five W.A.T. members and asked about the experiences that led them to activism.

00:00:00 - 00:17:45 -- Christopher Spicer -- Freelance writer and stay-at-home dad.

00:18:00 - 00:29:50 -- Don Cunning -- Longtime member of W.A.T. and other pro-peace organizations.

00:30:00 - 00:46:10 -- Manijeh Saba -- Recently acquitted in Federal Court for protesting on Supreme Court Steps in 2018.

00:46:25 - 1:30:20 -- Marc Alvarado -- Organizer with the InterReligious Task Force on Central America and Columbia

1:30:25 - 2:11:30 -- Chrissy Stonebraker-Martinez -- Co-Director of the InterReligious Task Force on Central America and Columbia

Be sure to check-out BCR #77 in which Becky and I talked with Chrissy and four other W.A.T. members at the Dubliner Bar in D.C. at the end of their fast and week of protest.
