Jodie Evans

You can really feel it now: It’s people
taking power into their own hands
and coming up with ideas and being
a citizens’ brigade. It’s open-source,
it’s inspiring, and it’s not controlled
at the top.
I think the Arab Spring was part of
the inspiration for Wisconsin and
reminded people of the power of
their voice and of being engaged and
of their own responsibility. It’s more
complicated in the United States,
because we don’t have a dictator that
we can dethrone. It’s a whole system
that is corrupt, and the whole system
isn’t holding anyone accountable. If
we don’t prosecute these war criminals,
what’s the next horrible thing
they can do? As anyone knows, if
you’re not held accountable, you
think you can get away with it, and it
becomes OK.
Q: You’ve made a point about pursuing
Bush and Cheney and other
high officials.
Evans: Yes, a lot of what we’ve been
doing at Code Pink is around our
war criminals campaign. Because
they got off scot-free. The first book
that came out was Karl Rove’s, and I
disrupted his first two book events.
He had to totally transform his book
tour. He could no longer speak to
audiences. He really was afraid of us.
Now we have Cheney’s book. We’re
always trying to find ways to engage
people. We’re always trying to find
ways that we can disturb power. If we
can’t put them in jail, at least we can
tell them someone’s watching and
that we know they’re war criminals.
We have bookmarks that you can
print out on your printer. You put
them in the book and you move the
book to the crime section. When
somebody buys the book, inside it is
the bookmark saying the person
who wrote the book is a war criminal.
So we find every way we can to
educate the public and to keep
power nervous. u
