Out & Outraged: Non-Violent Civil Disobedience at the U. S. Supreme Court
71 pages
In 1987, Out and Outraged, a National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took to the Supreme Court to promote the visibility of movement concerns and advocate for justice. The For Love, Life & Liberation Civil Disobedience handbook includes both the manifesto of organizers and the relevant tactic information needed to conduct the action. The handbooks provided a history of the movement, solidarity, and major concerns including the AIDs epidemic, and decriminalization of sexuality. The book also had the scenarios for the six-day event such as check-in and non-violence training. In addition to guidelines for the march such as no weapons, no drugs, no property destruction. The risk of arrest was also made abundantly clear in the handbook along with the exact charges, financial penalties, and penal penalties the action may accrue for participants. The C.D. handbook was meant to prepare participants and unify and strengthen the movement and action.

Nonviolent Civil Disobedience at CIA Headquarters, Langley, Virginia
15 pages
In April 1987, citizen action intended to make visible what the U.S. government wanted to keep hidden. On Monday, April 27, 1987, hundreds of people made history by engaging in the first nonviolent civil disobedience action at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. The action was the first time the American peace and justice movement directly challenges the post-Vietnam strategy of secret warfare. In this appeal, guidelines were given on how participants should engage in the action accordingly to maximize impact. Guidelines for the event included no property destruction, no weapons, no hopping of the White House fence, along with a full itinerary and a map of the C.I.A. exterior. Offered by the organizers was a preliminary in-person nonviolence training the day before and legal advice deemed necessary in case of arrests, such as the amount for bail and fines. In an effort to change detrimental policies, citizens organized and informed themselves of nonviolent etiquette and risk to improve the chance of success through the power of the people.
