It can be very difficult to do anti-war/peace organizing when your livelihood depends upon serving communities with a strong military presence. I don't know how much of that is the case for you in Tallahassee. You have said elsewhere that you work with military families in your social work, so I'm assuming you have a client base rooted in the military communities (active and retired I'd guess) of northern Fla.

In my mind, social work is activism of one sort. And there are many. But I understand that "coming out" as a peace activist could work against your professional standing, because peace activists are almost always viewed as the enemy by military people and their families. Of course, that doesn't mean that peace activism is non-existent in communities where military bases are located. That was my first apprenticeship as a full time peace and justice activist, in fact. There was a tremendous amount of misinformation, urban myth and fear about us in the military community. It was so bad where I was living, that military folk had a very difficult time reconciling me as a peace activist. Military folk who worked with me and knew me socially found it almost impossible to believe I was one of "those people." It was quite difficult for them to reconcile themselves to the fact that they were in the presence of a social justice activist opposed to their military mission, who they found to be quite a normal, likeable human being. They really thought I should be foaming at the mouth, and committing dastardly secret deeds that would destroy the US. :)
