| Info | Mike Miles is a 52 year old Catholic Worker who founded Anathoth Community Farm, a center for the study of nonviolence, building community, and sustainable living located in Luck, Wisconsin.
His involvement in the peace movement started twenty-six years ago when he and his partner Barb Kass moved into Jonah House during the trial of the Plowshares Eight. Over two decades of practicing active nonviolence has netted him dozens of arrests and more than a year served in various jails and prisons.
Much of Mike's activism now centers around the Middle East, working with both Voices in the Wilderness and the Middle East Children's Alliance. He has been to Iraq three times since 1997 and recently returned from Palestine/Israel.
He helps coordinate the Wheels of Justice - a mobile peace center that has traveled 85,000 miles, making over 800 stops at campuses, peace groups, and faith communities all over the US promoting nonviolent solutions to war and occupation.
Mike is also a media junkie having learned how to get mainstream press to cover peace news. He has been seen on World News Tonight being stuffed into the back of a squad car and on Good Morning America scattering ashes in front of Bill Richardson. He has gotten peace events featured in many major dailies: USA Today, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and The Minneapolis Star Tribune, to name a few.
His writing has been featured widely including Common Dreams, The Jordan Times and Sojourners. Most recently, Mike started the Northwoods Peace Initiative, an online organizing tool which brought hundreds of people to protests in Washington, DC, as well as to the highways and town squares of rural Wisconsin in the leadup to the war on Iraq.
The Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice named him Peacemaker of the Year in 2002.
Mike has a Masters degree from North Park Seminary in Chicago and knows how to stir up crowds banging on a guitar.
Mike and Barb have three adult children who love them in spite of the chaos they have endured over the years.
