"[1] Instead of breaking unjust laws in order to bring attention to injustice, actions organized and initiated by NCNR focus on highlighting the illegal policies and practices of the government and elected and appointed decision makers.
Typically NCNR participants go to court in order to continue to speak out against the unlawful conduct of government officials in pursuing aggressive wars.
Among the largest and most significant of NCNR's acts of civil resistance was the September 26, 2005 action at the White House sidewalk, with Cindy Sheehan, following a major anti-war mobilization.
Other NCNR nonviolent civil resistance actions have included acting with Christian Peace Witness - Iraq in September 2006,[3] and a campaign around funding for the Iraq war with Kathy Kelly's Voices for Creative Nonviolence dubbed the Occupation Project in 2007.
[5] Other peace activists associated with NCNR are Eve Tetaz, Malachy Kilbride and Pete Perry.
