- Description
- Episode Description
- Arnie Alpert was a social organizer for the American Friends Service Committee and a supporter of the Nuclear Freeze Movement. In the interview he describes the development of the movement, starting in small New Hampshire and Vermont towns during the 1980 presidential election campaign. He explains the process of mobilizing locally-based peace groups, a process which was also adopted by other social opposition movements to build support. During the 1980 campaign, the nuclear freeze position was adopted by many Democratic candidates, making it a party issue. In his view, the legacy of the movement is that it helped organizers and social activists to see that they could make a difference from a grassroots level.
