Summary
Joe Scarry is a seasoned columnist and organizer who has spent the past decade-plus focused on US nuclear disarmament, antiwar advocacy, and grassroots movement building. His Scarry Thoughts blog and long involvement with organizations like No Drones Network and World Beyond War reflect a blend of investigative writing, campaign coordination, and social media strategy. Earlier in his career he bridged technology and organizational change as a project manager and business development consultant for web and enterprise systems, giving him a practical edge in digital communications and campaign infrastructure. Based on experience licensing IP and advising on international trade, he brings analytical rigor to complex policy and legal issues around militarism and surveillance. Now based on Madeline Island, WI, he combines local community engagement with national advocacy, exploring intersections of faith, culture, and nonviolent resistance. An eclectic background—from occult-themed creative programming activity to producing online campaigns for film—adds unexpected creativity to his strategic approach.
