Father Carl Kabat celebrates Fourth of July
How did you spend your Fourth of July? Father Carl Kabat, an 80 year old priest who has spent some 17 years in prison for protesting against war and weapons, spent the Fourth of July spattering red paint across a sign at a Kansas City plant just opened. He is spending this weekend in jail as […]
About my Plays -updated
IMPORTANT–THIS IS NOT a COMPLETE LIST OF WORK. YOU CAN FIND THAT (NO FANCY PICTURES OR LINKS) HERE My name is Daniel Kinch. I also answer to Dan as well as a variety of other names (sometimes to ‘Jerry’). I studied acting in college at University of South Florida (and afterwards), but my interest is (and always […]

Whatever happened to the peace movement?
Today was Tax day, so it was also War Tax Day. As I reported a few days ago, the venerable War Resisters League tax day protest kicked off in front of the IRS offices at 110 West 44th Street. It’s the largest anti-war protest I’ve seen in awhile–and that’s part of the problem. I don’t […]
Tuesday is Tax Day! Go Cause trouble!
It’s that time of year again. As I laid out last year, Tuesday is the day we all pay into the Federal tax system (most state income taxes are also due at this time, a subject for a different article). As usual, the New York Peace community will be out in force to remind […]
A 20th anniversary for nuclear weapons protest
Like many of you, I have been distracted by (code for ‘taking extra Klonopin‘ over) the heightening tensions between the US and Russia over the Ukraine. There seems to be little agreement about who the guilty parties are in terms of what’s going on. True, the Russians have responded with military force, but there appears […]
What We owe Sister Megan and friends

They had already been convicted of a number of charges last July after breaking into the Y-12 Weapons Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. […]
Everything’s up to date in Kansas City Court
This happened earlier this week, and in a glum year for protest, it’s relatively good news. Some people I’ve written about out in Kansas City were arrested and facing serious charges for trespass and other alleged crimes after they protested in front of a nuclear weapons facility being built in town. The protest occurred last […]
Who in NYC wants to see a play about a Clown for Peace??(update)
In case you didn’t know, I have a touring play called A CLOWN, A HAMMER, A BOMB, AND GOD. It is about a pacifist priest named Carl Kabat who disarmed a Minuteman III missile on Good Friday while wearing a clown suit. It has been done a lot over the years, but it went on […]
Five people doing more to stop drone strikes than I am
This is news from the Nuclear Resister, a newsletter/magazine. Jack and Felice Cohen-Joppa have been publishing it since 1980, when the Plowshares Eight made their storied walk into the King of Prussia nuclear weapons plant. They’ve assiduously kept track of the hundreds of people who’ve been arrested worldwide for resisting war and the weapons of […]
