Ubandakanyeke njani kwi-anti-war activism kwaye World BEYOND War (WBW)?

Emva kokusebenza njengomphathi weyunithi yetanki, ndonyulelwa iprogram yesikolo somkhosi wezomkhosi. Injongo yam yayikuba ligosa lomkhosi wekhondo elifana notata. Khange ndihlawulwe, ngaphandle kwaxa isikolo siphume ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe okanye nangaphezulu. Kula maxesha, ndaye ndayixela kuma-82d Abn Div kwi-Bragg NC. Ndifumana intlawulo engaphezulu xa ndingafumana ixesha lokutsiba ngenqwelomoya. Yonke loo nto yaqala ukutshintsha kunyaka wesiphithiphithi ngonyaka ka-1968, kwaye yafikelela kwintlanganiso yango-1969 noJoan Baez, owandibonisa amandla okungaziphathi kakuhle. Ndarhoxa emkhosini, ndaba ngumcebisi wezomthetho eHaymarket Square, indlu eyayisebenza ngokulwa imfazwe eFayetteville, NC, ndaza ndamela abantu abangavumiyo ukuya emkhosini ngenxa yesazela.

Ukufudukela eKhanada ngo-2000, ndachitha iminyaka emine ndibhala IKhanada: I-Case for Staying Out of Other People's Wars. Ngethuba elifanelekileyo, ndafumana incwadi kaDavid Swanson Imfazwe lixoki. Kubonakala kum ngathi ndibhale into efana neCanada yencwadi kaDavid, kunye nelinye. Ndaye ndaqhakamshelana naye kwaye bendisebenza neWBW okoko.

Ziziphi iintlobo zemisebenzi yokuzithandela onceda ngazo?

Ndingumququzeleli wesahluko se World BEYOND War Victoria. Ndisebenze kutshanje neqela elincinci, eliququzelelwa yi-WBW, kumbandela wokuvuselela umbutho woxolo waseCanada. Iprojekthi yam yangoku Iintsimbi zoXolo, uthotho lweziganeko ezixhaswe yi-WBW ukukhumbula iminyaka engama-75 yokubhiyozelwa kweenqanawa eHiroshima naseNagasaki.

Ingcebiso yakho ephezulu kumntu ofuna ukubandakanyeka neWBW?

Ungaqali ngokufumanisa ukuba yintoni onokuyityhala ngexesha ukuze ubandakanyeke nayo. Endaweni yoko, gqiba ngento onokuyenza okanye uxhase ngentliziyo nangovuyo. Nokuba ngumdla wakho okhethekileyo okanye uzinikela ngephulo esele liqhubekile nge-WBW, amathuba kukuba ixabiso lentshukumo yoxolo, kunye nolwaneliseko lwakho, luya kuphuculwa ngokujoyina i-WBW.

Yintoni egcina ukuba uphefumlele ukuxhasa utshintsho?

Ukuziva kwam ekuhlaleni, ubunye nabantu bonke, kunye nemizekelo emihle ebekwe ngabenzi bokuthula, banamhlanje nangaphezulu.

Ngaba ubhubhane we-coronavirus ikuchaphazele njani ukusebenza kwakho?

Ngeendlela ezithile ngokuqinisekileyo. Ndinexesha, umzekelo, lokukhuthaza Iintsimbi zemicimbi yoXolo ngokubanzi njengeewebhusayithi ezingabonakaliyo endaweni yemicimbi yomntu. (Bendicinga ukuba uZoom uza kuthetha ngokukhawuleza!) Kwelinye icala, ubhubhane wavala iprojekthi yam yokubhala ukukhuthaza ukuqonda kwezizwe kunye nentsebenziswano phakathi kwabenzi boxolo. Bendiqhuba udliwanondlebe kunye nabafundi kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo xa ubhubhane wafika kunye nesikolo savalwa.
