Naomi Esther Jaffe (born 1943) is a former undergraduate student of Herbert Marcuse and member of the Weather Underground Organization. Jaffe was recently the Executive Director of Holding Our Own, a multiracial foundation for women.
We [the Weather Underground group] felt that doing nothing in a period of repressive violence is itself a form of violence. That's really the part that is the hardest for people to understand. If you sit in your house, live your white life, go to your white job and allow the country that you live in to commit genocide, and you sit there and don't do anything about it, that's violence.
