Profile of activist couple Kellie Gasink and William Pleasant organizing G-8 Summit protests in Savannah. The article discusses their confrontational tactics, their efforts to create a Southern Center for Dissent, and reactions from local activists including Sarah Barczak of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, who critiques their approach to community organizing around Savannah River Site issues.

You can't come into a community and say, 'Hey, wake up. Look at what's wrong.' You have to learn the community. When you say this is such a backward and slow place, you put people on the fences because you're making them feel right away that they're ignorant and don't care about the community.
