WPKN Community Radio

In this interview with host Richard Hill, Nick Mottern describes his journey from Navy enlistee during the Vietnam war to full-time peace activist in western Massachusetts today. Nick's activities include picketing arms producers, civil disobedience leading to multiple arrests, and lobbying Jim McGovern, his congressman. He has written articles for Truthout and also engages in a daytime fast which he says gives him the clarity of mind to concoct new ways to organize resistance to the US colonial project.
