Here are some excerpts from an interview with Julia Butterfly Hill by Daniel Woodham, appearing in the February 2006 issue of More than a paycheck, the newsletter of the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. Speaking about her experiences with war tax resistance:
I started out cautious. I was not so much concerned for […]
These are window bars. They look very tasteful in this photo, don’t they, and though many houses around here have them, I know they are not unique to Albuquerque. I had some (though not this pretty) on my windows in Washington, DC, and if I had had them on my windows here, then […]
