Aw c'mon now, daylia. When you recommend someone like Starhawk as a reputable, genuine political activist, you need to let everybody know she is also a self-proclaimed witch in the New Age pagan tradition.

Is she committed to activism and her causes? Absolutely. She seems to walk her talk, too. But to suggest that she is one of the leaders of the anti-war movement would be a bit of a stretch. She is certainly a leader of the feminist wiccan fringe of the anti-war movement. Maybe. But mostly she is known for her business savvy selling her New Age books and speaking circuit gigs (VERY lucrative industry, and good work if you can get it too, I suppose).
