Please join us for an interview with S. Brian Willson, a longtime peace activist who is now a Nicaraguan citizen. Brian is ready to answer your questions, as well as the following: What were the most important factors that changed your political viewpoint and impelled you to take action? Why did you decide to move to Nicaragua, and what have you experienced and observed while living there? What message do you have for other activists and potential activists?
Commentators: Michelle Munjanattu, Petros Bein
More Background
Brian started life in a conservative small town in upstate New York but changed his political outlook due to life events, including military experience in Vietnam. On September 1, 1987, he and other veterans blocked railroad tracks at the Concord, CA naval station to protest US weapons shipments to Central America. An approaching train did not stop, and Brian barely survived the impact, losing both legs below the knee and part of his right frontal lobe. After this attack, his activism only intensified. As a trained lawyer and writer, he has documented US policy in over 20 countries, including Nicaragua, which he made his permanent home several years ago.
