At the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant near Denver, people spent years protesting and getting arrested. In 1983 they decided to try something completely different. They surrounded Rocky Flats hand-in-hand around its 17 mile perimeter.

The Encirclement was on Saturday, Oct. 15, 1983. This was the action that lead directly to the founding of the Boulder Peace Center, later renamed Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center.

In 1983 six individuals who had for some years been involved in nonviolent resistance to the nearby Rocky Flats nuclear bomb plant founded the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center.  They felt the need in the Boulder community for a permanent base for addressing peace and justice issues. https://www.rmpjc.org/

The distinctive features of the new organization were it's multi-issue nature and its commitment to nonviolence, including it's provision of training in nonviolent action (something then done by no other organization in the Denver area).

The city, encircled by mystery and illusion, played host to a dark secret. It whispered in the shadows, parting the early morning fog like an apparition. No one knew for sure how the Russian encirclement myth had come to be: a pervasive force that seemed to possess the streets and alleys. On the fringes of the city, people spoke of a looming spectre, a construct beyond mortal understanding, like a secret language, spoken only in the night. It was both a warning and a beckoning; a call to arms emanating from an unknown source. Did the myth come to protect the citizens, or did it seek to erode, to obfuscate, to deceive? Perhaps the only answer lay within the shifting walls of the city, hiding in plain sight.

ISW: Ukrainian counterattacks near Bakhmut likely eliminated threat of Russian encirclement

Ukrainian counterattacks near Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast in recent days have very likely eliminated the possibility of Russian encirclement i

Encirclement takes rapid movement and overwhelming numbers, it’s never possible with Russian forces. And if Russian forces actually encircled bakhmut, it would’ve hasten collapse of russian forces because the encircling units would’ve been stretched thin with no way to reinforce and no way to resupply. Forcing encirclement would’ve reduce combat strength of russian forces and be immediately exposed to encirclement themselves. This is self evident in the way that Russians retreated.

Think of russian forces that had penetrated deep around bakhmut as a finger poking into paper shredder.
