"Direct action groups were shutting down weapons manufacturers across the East Coast. They stormed banks and corporate offices, they painted the war economy red. Autonomous and operating under pseudonyms, they outran cops and blocked bridges. They were young and from diverse backgrounds—Filipino, Arab, and Puerto Rican. There were white suburbanites who refused to be complicit, Jewish Americans renouncing Zionism, and awkward graduate students who’d never protested before.
