You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Irving Harold Stowe''' (né '''Strasmich'''; July 25, 1915 – October 28, 1974) was a [[Yale]] lawyer, activist, and a founder of [[Greenpeace]].<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.solarnavigator.net/greenpeace.htm | title=Greenpeace Campaign for Green Peace ))</ref> He was named one of the "BAM 100" (Brown University's 100 most influential graduates of the 20th century).<ref>Brown Alumni Monthly Nov/Dec 2000</ref>

== Biography ==

Irving Stowe was born '''Irving Strasmich''' in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. He graduated [[magna cum laude]] from [[Brown University]] in Economics before completing a law degree at Yale. In the 1930s he studied [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]], believing it to be the language of the future. He chaired the Legal Advisory Committee of the Rhode Island Council for Human Rights; marched against nuclear proliferation; and on his wedding night (an elopement with [[Dorothy Stowe|Dorothy Rabinowitz]], a social worker and fellow activist) both bride and groom attended a benefit dinner for the [[NAACP]].

In 1961 Stowe moved with his wife and their two young children to [[New Zealand]], where he taught Admiralty Law at the [[University of Auckland]].  He joined protests against the [[Vietnam War]].  Born [[Jewish]], he and his wife both became ardent pacifists and changed their religion to [[Quaker]] and their surname to Stowe, in honor of abolitionist author [[Harriet Beecher Stowe]].
 
In 1966, Stowe and his family moved to [[Vancouver]], Canada, where he became a full-time activist.  He drew up the Constitution for a small group trying to stop nuclear testing on [[Amchitka Island]], the [[Don't Make a Wave Committee]]. Fellow activists Marie and [[Jim Bohlen]], Patrick Moore, and law student Paul Coté were among the earliest members. At the end of one meeting, Stowe flashed the "V" sign customary in the sixties and said, "Peace".  [[Bill Darnell]] responded "Let's make it a green peace", coining the phrase that has become ubiquitous.

An environmental columnist, Stowe understood the symbiotic relationship between the media and activism and recruited gifted journalists to the Amchitka campaign.  Always passionate about music, he played classical violin, had his stereo equipment custom built. To finance the first Greenpeace voyage he organised a benefit concert with [[Joni Mitchell]], [[James Taylor]], [[Phil Ochs]] and [[Chilliwack (band)|Chilliwack]], now known as the [[Amchitka (album)|Amchitka Concert]].  He was on the executive board of the [[New Democratic Party of Canada]] but declined requests to run for office, preferring to work independently as an activist.

In 1972 the Don't Make a Wave Committee officially changed its name to Greenpeace.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/about/history/the-founders |title=The Founders ((!)) Greenpeace USA |website=www.greenpeace.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301164350/http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/about/history/the-founders |archive-date=2009-03-01))</ref>  Stowe died of [[pancreatic cancer]] two years later, at the age of 59.  After his death, newspaper columnists characterized him as "a man of principle,"<ref>(Bob Cummings "Earth Loses a Good Friend", The Georgia Straight'' November 7, 1974)</ref> one who "made a substantial impact on this world, perhaps as much of an impact as could possibly be sought after outside the realms of politics, literature and art."<ref>Bob Hunter, ''Vancouver Sun'', November 6, 1974</ref> [[Robert Hunter (journalist)|Bob Hunter]], who later became president of Greenpeace International, eulogized Stowe in his ''Vancouver Sun'' newspaper column:  "No one could say that Irving wasted his time here.  He expended himself fully.  He contributed precisely as much as he could.  When other men were lying back, waiting to see what nightmare would materialize next, Irving was moving like a human whirlwind toward the goal of heading the nightmare off."((citation needed|date=September 2022))
