	Action At Y12 - 2002 Erik Johnson Civil Disobedience

   Erik Johnson has been down this road before. Not only at Oak Ridge in defense of humanity and Mother Earth but has also crossed the blue line at Fort Benning in protest of the SOA, now refered to as WHISC. You can view that story at "Reflections From FCI Manchester" if you are interested. Erik has spent 10 days in jail for this most recent act of civil disobedience at Y12 in Oak Ridge TN. Read his court statement to find out why.

Erik Johnson's Court Statement

   Erik was one of the first two arrests shortly after the "bomb" was brought out into the road. Jim reported that he thought they arrested Erik for bringing it out but it wasn't Erik that did it. Still, Erik was going to block the road and be arrested anyway so he just missed the festivities which I am sure he wanted to take part in.

   As within their lives, Erik and Libby made this witness together. Courageous people who are loved and admired by everyone who knows them. Thanks Erik and Libby.
