Santa Monica : Protest March at Rand Corp.
- Share via
About 50 anti-nuclear activists marched to the Rand Corp. headquarters on Monday, protesting the organization’s involvement in military issues and nuclear weapons.
The eight-mile march started at UCLA. Protesters included City Atty. Robert M. Myers, who was arrested during a recent demonstration at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site.
The “March for Survival” was coordinated by the Westside SANE/Freeze. The group hopes to mobilize public support for pending legislation that would cut funds for nuclear testing if the Soviet Union also agrees to discontinue its testing program.
