Other protests, television appearances, one congressional office direct-action occupation, the first Los Angeles protest against Vietnam conflict escalation in 1965, the Chicago “Days of Rage” in 1968, a draft-board sit-in, Washington and local demonstrations in the ‘60s and since the Iraq wars, presentations at various conferences in the U.S. and Mexico as well as one at the University of Havana, our first solidarity trip to Chiapas in March 1994, right after the EZLN uprising  … Wes also guided or helped guide several nonviolent training workshops and participated in a four-day intensive Training for Change workshop - Third Party Nonviolent Intervention Training for Advanced Trainers. After 2001, our delegation work was curtailed because of Wes' cancer surgery, chemo and radiation treatments, over a span of two years. We’ve also lost three other activist-organizer friends to cancer since 1994. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
