As the CDEF Board of Directors and I switch into high gear and begin pushing to turn this into the group that we envision as playing a key role in the liberty movement, we feel it very important to make it very clear to our current and future supporters specifically what we are all about.
With a mission that will undoubtedly be viewed as controversial, it is also important to be very specific about what we are not about.
Perspective
Dr. Martin Luther King.
Liberty activists in New Hampshire who subject themselves to arrest for
victim-less crimes such as filming in a government building, possessing
a plant, or daring to question the almighty authority of a judge.
Gandhi.
Rosa Parks.
Three of the above are freedom fighters that have been recognized
as changing the world. Very few would dare disparage the great sacrifices that these brave people have made in efforts to make the world a more fair and just place.
The fourth consists of individuals that are in the process of standing up to the state in the way they personally view best, being civilly disobedient. They are disparaged, laughed at, and imprisoned.
Brad Jardis Joins CDEF as Executive Director
It is my great pleasure to announce that Brad Jardis has joined the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund as Executive Director.
Brad is a well-known figure in the liberty movement in New Hampshire. He spent 11 years as a law enforcement officer. His outspoken criticism of the illegal drug war has made him a pariah to the established law enforcement cabal. For the same reason, Brad has become a hero to many people in the liberty community.
Because of his public stance on the drug war, as well as criticism of other crimes that imprison non-violent people, Brad was recently forced out of his job.
We are fortunate to have Brad as the public face of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund and look forward to the impact he will have on the liberty movement in New Hampshire.
I'll let him take it from here as a blogger on this site.
New Site!
Welcome to the new site for the Civil Disobedience Evoution Fund! We created a new site in conjunction with some new plans we have for the Fund. We'll be announcing them shortly.
Until then, you can read about the fund and our goals at the About Us page.
My name is Brian Travis. I'm a member of the Board of Directors of the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund and the new Webmaster. I got the job because I suggested a new site. That's what happens with these kind of things, you know!
Since many of our supporters are into that sort of thing, I can talk about the internals of the site. Please feel free to comment below if you have some ideas.
About Us
The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund works to restore freedom and support liberty by acting as a bridge between liberty activists and supporters.
The fund works primarily in an administrative support function with volunteers to communicate directly with activists to ensure that they are supported and the event is a success.
The Executive Director and Board of Directors decide which activists are eligible to receive our support, and then work with those activists to get them whatever they need: signs, a camera crew, legal representation, notary services, court reporter, living assistance, or money for basic needs.
The fund is currently operated 100% by volunteers who have donated their time and money to make this happen. Donations can be sent via Paypal, in person or by courier service. Federal Reserve Notes and precious metals are accepted as donations, and distributions will be announced to the public.
The Fund is designed to support people who want to engage in civil disobedience, in whatever manner they think best. The fund serves as an educational tool, an activist support network, and a support fund to help with expenses incurred while doing civil disobedience.
On the education side, the fund supports purchases of materials such as Marc Steven’s books and scripts, courses from jurisdictionary.com, and other related materials. The fund serves as a very strong administrative function for activists.
Whatever needs may arise to accomplish a peaceful act of civil disobedience, the activists support network of volunteers will work behind the scenes with the CD Evolution fund to ensure the event is successful. On the support side, the fund will help pay for court costs, filing fees, and even money for basic needs. The fund can support activists and their families with basic needs while they are in jail.
