"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty...That’s our problem." - Howard Zinn

Between 2014 and 2018 I was organized clandestinely with a Christian network that resisted and obstructed detention, deportation and refoulement.
In the course of four years we effectively negated Swedish Granspolisen efforts to refoul one Ugandan, one Congolese, two Morrocans, four Afghans and one Georgian.
We made a difference in nine peoples lives.
We Resisted.
