With us in the studio this week is the very inspiring and always interesting local activist and Rudolf Steiner student, Abraham Entin.

Here’s a little about Abraham:

Abraham Entin is a life long activist for non-violent social transformation.  Born in Brooklyn and raised in Chicago, he was active in the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960’s and was a Vietnam War draft resister. Abraham is the founder of the Sonoma County Affiliate of Move to Amend (the coalition to end corporate constitutional rights through a 28th amendment stating that “corporations are not people” and “money is not speech”.  He is also active with the global initiative 100 Thousand Poets for Change (www.100TPC.org) out of a recognition that social change begins with a transformation within human beings and their cultural attitudes.  He views non-violence not as merely the means for social change but also the end we are seeking-the end of coercion as a means of social interaction and control.   Abraham is a long time student of Rudolf Steiner and has been active in helping Waldorf Schools and other initiatives connected to Steiner’s work.  He teaches a course called “Spirit and Revolution” at the Arlene Francis Center for Spirit, Art and Politics. He has three grown children and lives in Western Sonoma County with his wife of 38 years, Rachael Flug. You can contact Abraham at abrahamentin@gmail.com.
