Her crime? Engaging in civil disobedience to nonviolently protest the continued war and occupation of Iraq. Tetaz says she will plead no contest to the charges, which may result in jail time. The judge may decide instead to refuse her plea, which will result in trial. Tetaz, a longtime advocate for the poor on issues of economic and social justice, also founded Life Pathways, a non-profit that helps single parents become financially independent. The 76-year-old retired public schoolteacher says that in protesting the war she was obeying a higher law which decries the crimes against humanity that take place in Iraq. Tetaz hopes that publicity around her case will galvanize people toward action, and adds that if she is sentenced to time for demonstrating in Washington DC against the war, she&#8217;ll get a chance to meet some good people in jail. Code Pink&#8217;s Gael Murphy, Reverend Lennox Yearwood of the Hip-Hop Caucus and Adam Koresh of Iraq Veterans Against the War are all scheduled to speak on Tetaz&#8217;s behalf this Friday, and her nonviolent protests against the Iraq War have become an inspiration for young and old alike. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Eve Tetaz, Founder of Pathways 76-year-old Eve Tetaz is set to appear before a senior DC Superior Court Judge on four misdemeanor charges Friday.
