ADMINISTRATIVE/BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY The Resistance was an organization dedicated to non-violent non-cooperation with the federal Selective Service System, the federal government agency which administered the Vietnam War draft. The first Resistance chapter was founded in Palo Alto by David Harris, a former Stanford University Student Body President, in 1967. The Los Angeles Resistance was founded in Westwood in 1967 by Donald “Don” Kalish, the former Chair of the UCLA Philosophy Department. It was part of a national network of local Resistance chapters which coordinated their efforts to stop the draft. From 1967 to 1968, the L.A. Resistance regularly held peaceful protests outside of the downtown L.A. Selective Service office, where busloads of young men were taken for induction into the armed services. Members of the L.A. Resistance worked with the national Resistance network to organize four national draft card turn-in events. After many resisters were imprisoned for refusing induction, various national Resistance groups worked together to form the Resistance Prison Project, in order to aid and advocate for those imprisoned for noncompliance. This collection chronicles the activities of L.A. Resistance and the anti-war organizations they collaborated with such as: the Orange Grove Friends (Quaker) Sanctuary, (Quaker) Friends of the Resistance, Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, Peace Action Council of Southern California, San Francisco Resistance, Palo Alto Resistance, Alpha House Resistance Commune, Westside Committee of Concern on Vietnam, the Quaker Action Group, Committee for Draft Resistance, and the War Resisters League of Southern California. 1 ARRANGEMENT These documents are organized into the following series: Organizational Papers Los Angeles Resistance Chapter National Resistance Other Local Resistance Chapters Biographical Information Correspondence Writings Legal Records Prison Records Project Files Resistance Prison Project Inglewood Community Project Miscellaneous Projects Subject Files Clergy and the Resistance War Resisters League Blacks Against the Draft Women’s Groups Presidio 27 Mutiny Trial Peace Action Council of Southern California Research Files Anti-war publications Pro-war publications Government Documents Photographs Audiovisual Materials News Clippings Ephemera ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Access Restrictions: This collection is open for research on an appointment basis.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

The organizing process began with discussions between Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and women in the Upstate Feminist Peace Alliance (NY), to consider siting the camp at the Seneca Army Depot in Romulus, NY. The planning meetings for the Encampment have since grown to include women from Toronto, Ottawa, Rochester, Oswego, Syracuse, Geneva, Ithaca, Albany, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and some of the smaller towns in between. Some of the tasks have been organized regionally and others have been done locally. Our planning meetings are open, and we are committed to consensus as our decision making process.

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August 1969 featured a galaxy of performers who had contributed significantly ot the alternative zeitgeist that spoke of peace and love in ways that may sound corny now. The peace and love of the Sixties was grounded in a strong antiwar sensibility and a sense of collective solidarity against the American war in Vietnam. When Joan Baez spoke about her husband – draft resister David Harris – introducing “The Ballad of Joe Hill”, the link between the struggles of the working class and the antiwar struggles of the day was apparent.

  • ES-Hist 335 Nuclear America S17 Syll
    Environmental Studies/History 335 Nuclear America Spring 2017 _________________________________________________ TTH, 9:40-11:10, Clow 103 Professor: Jim Feldman Email: [email protected] Office: Sage 3453 Telephone: 920-424-3235 Office Hours: TTH, 1:15-2:45, or by appt. Course Description: After the first successful nuclear test in 1945, Robert J. Oppenheimer—the father of the atomic bomb—reportedly quoted Indian scripture: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” Thus began America’s long and strange interaction with nuclear energy. In this research and reading seminar, we will explore this interaction by examining topics such as foreign policy and the arms race, civil defense planning, nuclear energy, the peace movement, the environmental movement, climate change, and many more. But in confronting nuclear energy, Americans thought and reflected on much more than just the power of the atom. They have wrestled with elemental questions such as the human relationship to nature, the nature of progress, the obligations of citizenship, and the balance between national security and democracy. Exploring nuclear energy will allow us to investigate these larger themes in American history. The course will be run as a reading seminar. There will be very little lecture. Class time will be spent discussing and analyzing the readings. A majority of the readings will be primary sources—that is, the documents written or created as Americans encountered nuclear energy. These include, for example, press releases from the White House, letters and speeches written by government officials and nuclear industry representatives, promotional materials for anti-nuclear rallies, and much more. A central goal of the course is to learn how to critically analyze these documents, and then to use them in creating your own original arguments about American encounters with nuclear energy.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.

  • Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 Year-Old Folk Singer Joan Baez Was Already a Near-Icon on the Ameri- Can Folk Music Scene
    THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTORIAN A PUBLICATION OF THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTO RICAL SOCIETY Volume 29, Issue 1 MARCH 2015 Remembering Joan Baez in Carmel Valley—1965 By Elizabeth Barratt, CVHS Historian By the time she opened her controversial Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 year-old folk singer Joan Baez was already a near-icon on the Ameri- can folk music scene. Her 1959 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, an album contract with Vanguard Records, and a 1960 concert at Carnegie Hall had drawn the fans. Her cover image and story in the November 23, 1962 Time magazine established her title as Queen of Folk Music. In 1963, she joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the March on Washing- ton, D.C. Closer to home, her September 1964 concert at the Monterey Fairgrounds drew an audience of 5,000 attendees. But her arrival in Carmel Valley was heralded, not by the adulation of loyal admirers, but with protests from locals who feared an influx of bearded, barefoot, unwashed Bohemians descending upon and disrupting the area’s rural serenity. Baez had gone into partnership with her mentor, Ira Sandperl, to create the Institute, a center where individuals could gather to study and discuss topics of nonviolence and world peace. Initial sessions had been held at her home on Miramonte Road. Anticipating an enlarged attendance, she and Sandperl applied for a use permit to conduct the school in a small, whitewashed structure that had once been the Tularcitos School, later serving as a lab for the “So Help Me Hannah” poison oak remedy, and then a shotgun shell factory.

  • Unit V 1. India As a Champion of World Peace and Justice A
    UNIT V 1. INDIA AS A CHAMPION OF WORLD PEACE AND JUSTICE A peace movement is a social movement that seeks to achieve ideals such as the ending of a particular war (or all wars), minimize inter-human violence in a particular place or type of situation, and is often linked to the goal of achieving world peace. Means to achieve these ends include advocacy of pacifism, non-violent resistance, diplomacy, boycotts, peace camps, moral purchasing, supporting anti-war political candidates, legislation to remove the profit from government contracts to the Military–industrial complex, banning guns, creating open government and transparency tools, direct democracy, supporting Whistleblowers who expose War-Crimes or conspiracies to create wars, demonstrations, and national political lobbying groups to create legislation. The political cooperative is an example of an organization that seeks to merge all peace movement organizations and green organizations, which may have some diverse goals, but all of whom have the common goal of peace and humane sustainability. A concern of some peace activists is the challenge of attaining peace when those that oppose it often use violence as their means of communication and empowerment. Some people refer to the global loose affiliation of activists and political interests as having a shared purpose and this constituting a single movement, "the peace movement", an all encompassing "anti-war movement". Seen this way, the two are often indistinguishable and constitute a loose, responsive, event-driven collaboration between groups with motivations as diverse as humanism, environmentalism, veganism, anti- racism, feminism, decentralization, hospitality, ideology, theology, and faith. There are different ideas over what "peace" is (or should be), which results in a plurality of movements seeking diverse ideals of peace.

Dr. William Hoskins Ill ABSTRACT The activities of the sixties that addressed the issue of women’s rights have been given considerable attention by historians. These activities called for justice and equality for women through legal reform. Betty Goldstein Friedan, noted women's rights advocater, has been regarded by some historians as one of the leaders that attempted to change status-quo conditions of the sixties, relative to women's equal­ ity. Friedan's publication of The Feminine Mystique, in 1963, cautioned women that they did not have to adhere to society's image that supposedly prescribed their lifestyles. Betty Friedan noted that there is often a discrepancy between what women feel they want to achieve and what society has mandated that they attempt to achieve.

    RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. — J. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project, which created the first atom bomb, quoting the Bhagavad Gita as he witnessed the atom bomb test at Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945 When scientific power outruns spiritual power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men. — Martin Luther King, Jr. Inside cover: Baker Test, Marshall Islands, July 25, 1946. Photo: US Department of Defense. CATASTROPHIC IMPACT OF NUCLEAR TESTS ON HUMAN HEALTH. Now we have this problem of what we call “jelly-fish babies.” These babies are born like jelly-fish. They have no eyes. They have no heads. They have no arms. They have no legs. They do not shape like human beings at all. When they die they are buried right away. A lot of times they don’t allow the mother to see this kind of baby because she will go crazy. It is too inhumane. — Darlene Keju-Johnson, Director of Family Planning 1987–1992, Marshall Islands, on the impact of U.S. nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Religions for Peace (RfP) would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to the Norwegian Minis- try of Foreign Affairs and Rissho Kosei-Kai for their years of generous support and partnership in RfP’s education and advocacy program to mobilize senior religious leaders and their constituencies around a credible, cohesive and bold advocacy and action agenda for peace and shared security, particularly in the area of nuclear disarmament.
