Maryrose Dolezal in WIN magazine

I just received the Spring/Summer issue of WIN magazine, the quarterly publication of the War Resisters League, one of our sister organizations, and it looks fantastic. Titled "Where To From Here?" the issue is a compilation of excerpts from some 90 interviews that WRL leaders did with a wide range of activists in the peace and justice movement, all across the United States, over the past year. What a resource!

I was particularly excited to see that my colleague Maryrose Dolezal, FOR's co-director of Youth & Militarism, was quoted in a couple places in the issue. In the section titled "What does (or what could) base-building look like in antiwar organizing?" Maryrose's quote is blown up in a large eye-catching font, and reads:

If smaller radical groups don't engage with broader-based organizations, then we are having a circular conversation that is very privileged and self-indulgent. ... If you look back over the years at policy and if people's lives have been impacted through the work, you find there's little to show for it.

Great stuff. Maryrose emailed to say that more content is online on WRL staffer Matt Smucker's blog, so click on that hyperlink to check out more highlights from this very special issue of WIN.
