RESIST (non-profit)
RESIST is a philanthropic non-profit organization based out of Somerville, Massachusetts. It has provided grants to grassroots activist organizations around the country since its inception in 1967 as a result of the anti-war proclamation “A Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority”.〔
== History ==
RESIST formed in 1967 as an intellectual collective in response to the growing unrest surrounding the Vietnam War. First taking shape in the period leading up to the March on the Pentagon, Robert Barsky describes the collective’s formation in ''Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent'': In addition to Chomsky and Lauter, others involved in the organization’s early stages included novelist Mitchell Goodman,〔 poet Robert Lowell, writer Dwight Macdonald, leading lawyer for the Mobilization’s Legal Defense Committee Ed de Grazia, poet Denise Levertov, and ''The Armies of the Night'' author Norman Mailer 〔
In the days leading up to the march, the collective penned “A Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority,” which was published in the October 12th, 1967 edition of ''The New York Review of Books''.〔〔 The manifesto was signed by hundreds including Mitchell Goodman, Henry Braun, Denise Levertov, Noam Chomsky, William Sloane Coffin, Norman Mailer, Robert Lowell, Dwight Macdonald, Allen Ginsberg, Barbara Guest, Wilbur H. Ferry, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.〔 Leaflets were circulated among sympathizers prior to the march detailing their intended action:
“WE ARE PLANNING AN ACT OF DIRECT CREATIVE RESISTANCE TO THE WAR AND THE DRAFT IN WASHINGTON ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20. The locale of our action will be the Department of Justice. We will gather at the First United Congregational Church of Christ, 10th and G Streets, N.W., Washington. . . at 1 P.M. We will appear at the Justice Department together with 30 or 40 young men brought by us to Washington to represent the 24 Resistance groups from all over the country. There we will present to the Attorney General the draft cards turned in locally by these groups on October 16. . . We will, in a clear, simple ceremony, make concrete our affirmation of support for these young men who are the spearhead of direct resistance to the war and all of its machinery....
() Mitchell Goodman, Henry Braun, Denise Levertov, Noam Chomsky, William Sloane Coffin, Dwight Macdonald.
NOTE: Among the hundreds already committed to this action are Robert Lowell, Norman Mailer, Ashley Montagu, Arthur Waskow, and professors from most of the major colleges and universities in the East.”〔
The March was met with police aggression, resulting in the arrests of Mailer, Chomsky, Dave Dellinger, and Dagmar Wilson.
