I’m Ready to Resist. My Non-Cooperation Actions

### Ready to Resist?
**Remember a time when you said “No” to authority.** (maybe many years ago; maybe yesterday)
What happened? __ How did it feel in your body? __ Did that action change your relationship to that person/institution? __ What did you learn about yourself? __

**There are so many good examples from World War II. Occupied by the Nazis, the Danes resisted fascism, and so can we.**
Many Danes tried keeping their head down, staying quiet at first. That didn’t work. (It never does) These commandments, authored by a 17yr old resistance member, with simple, everyday moral commandments for Danes caught fire. It was copied by hand, whispered neighbor to neighbor, wheat pasted on walls. Five years of collective non-cooperation through the 1945 collapse of the Nazis, delivered a renewed Denmark with strong sense of community and commitment to social justice.
