In Memory of Marshall Peckham (1988-2018)
“Be kind to each other”
A couple of weeks ago we learned of the death of longtime Courage to Resist volunteer Marshall Peckham. Marshall was someone we could always count on for putting in the hours of behind-the-scenes work that make any community organization function. If Marshall couldn’t make a work party at the office because he had to work at his pizza making gig, he made sure that our gathering was well fed. He was also a staff member of our successful campaign to free whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Thank you, Marshall, for having the heart and courage to resist.

Marshall Peckham was born on Feb. 18, 1988, in Walnut Creek, California. He passed away in Washington, D.C., on July 28, 2018. He fought valiantly to survive intestinal problems that culminated in a bowel transplant…. He attended Etna Elementary School, Scott Valley Junior High, Etna High School, College of the Redwoods and UC Santa Cruz. He was a 4-H member, FFA member, musician, his last words to the world were “Be kind to each other.”
“Courage to Resist puts the slogan of “support the troops but not the war” into practice every day. Their work to publicize and support the courage of GI resisters is an essential component of stopping the war machine.”
