In Northampton on January 21, two people were arrested while protesting for peace. The protest was in the lobby of the L3Harris building. “One of the top weapons manufacturers in the world, L3 is profiting from the genocide of Palestine, selling surveillance tech to ICE, and producing nuclear weaponry for trident subs that are capable of destroying all life on earth.... We want a demilitarized future, free from genocide, free from surveillance, and free from the threat of nuclear war.” That quote is from the protest organizers' web page:

The two people who were arrested are Clara Wagner and Matti Weisberg.

An excellent documentary that is now in theaters (none are currently in the Pioneer Valley or Brattleboro but more locations are to-be-announced) tells the story of protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999. Details are at www.wto99doc.com.
