ABSTRACT
During that year, April 1967 to April 1968, there was an obvious answer to the question: What is a member of the Resistance? A member of the Resistance during this classic period was one who publicly and collectively noncooperated with the Selective Service System, or who advocated, aided and abetted that act. In this chapter, the author views the movement which became the Resistance emerging from certain groups of students who, as they moved beyond a We Won't Go position, sought to combine the insights of pacifist noncooperation with those of anti-imperialist induction refusal. The Des Moines meeting in late August 1966 decided that the projected November 16 date was premature. Individuals were urged to return to their various communities and organize solid local groups. The author wants to get a way from the role of auxiliary to a radicalism the center of gravity of which was in other peoples' lives.
