Fred Moore (activist)

As a UC Berkeley freshman in 1959, he held a two-day hunger strike on campus against the compulsory Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, attracting media attention and influencing later activists of the student movement of the 1960s.

[3] The purpose of the demise party was to decide how to give away the remaining profits from the publication of the Whole Earth Catalog, $20,000 in cash.

Fred Moore eventually received the majority of the money, $14,905, after ten hours of debate and most people having left.

[3] Moore applied the politics of draft resistance to what he saw as an oppressive educational system summarised in the institution of school.

"[6] Moore is prominently featured in the books What the Dormouse Said by John Markoff and Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy.
