Good day Dog,

Activism is who I am.

I am active in anti-war and associated movements – against Israel’s murderous assaults on Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories; the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israeli Apartheid; against Western warmongering towards Iran; against Western military campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc. I’m close to several former guerrilla fighters from Uruguay, El Salvador, Iraq, Lebanon, and Chile that fought against U.S.-sponsored death squads and dictatorships.

Besides anti-war, I have been active in demonstrations opposed to pipelines and the development of the tar sands, the Occupy movement, electoral fraud and reform, and for justice for Aboriginal people.

Mostly I am a writer though. Articles I have written have been published in Canada, Australia, the U.K., the U.S., and Africa by NGOs and socialist newspapers and magazines, and one article I wrote was cited in a United Nations committee report.
