    Having seen and lived with war, terror and occupation in Iraq and
    Palestine, participants in the Wheels of Justice offer first-hand
    experience irrespective of partisan politics and sound bite
    sloganeering. The Wheels of Justice Tour canvasses the United States
    with education, outreach, training, active non-violent resistance,
    and network/community-building.
