Mourning the Death of Daniel Ellsberg

Featured image "Daniel Ellsberg (1931-2023)", oil on canvas, by Caitlin Johnstone
We at the Dallas Peace and Justice Center mourn the death of Daniel Ellsberg, a hero of the anti-war and anti-nuclear movements. We celebrate his courage to risk his own freedom by exposing government secrets about the war in Viet Nam, and by continuing to speak truth to power. He joined us at Camp Casey to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq, and was a familiar face in DC and at events across the country, working tenaciously to advocate for peace and nuclear nonproliferation. He never hesitated to "go to jail for justice" in order to shine a light on the causes, costs, and dangers of war, inspiring us to stand up and take effective action as well.
We'll miss you, Dan. Rest in peace. Your power lives on.
We're moved to share with you this image and piece by Caitlin Johnstone, honoring Daniel Ellsberg, as well as those of YOU who give of yourselves for peace and hope for a future.
