Refusing to pay taxes that go towards military spending and the prison industry in the USA, is a form of nonviolence. Kathy Kelly, a veteran peace activist and teacher, describes how aligning life with her deepest values has given her the strength to struggle against military offensives abroad and racial violence in everyday life.  Her acts of civil disobedience have led to Kathy being arrested scores of times – sometimes being put through the demeaning experience of being ‘processed’ after arrest. Having spent over 16 months, spread over four decades, in prison because of her opposition to various American military actions -- Kathy has become still more passionate about nonviolent resistance.
