Historical Background
Douglas Ronald Rand was born in Summerville (New Jersey) in 1954. He was a community activist, environmentalist, anti-nuclear and peace activist, and organizer and leader in many community projects in the Santa Cruz (California) area. He served as the director of the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz, CA, and was also involved with the Santa Cruz Action Network. He died on March 5, 2000 in Santa Cruz at the age of 45.
Collection Overview
This small collection comes from the files of Doug Rand and covers five topics related to local peace and political actions in Santa Cruz: the successful efforts to stop beach area development, the election victory that grew from public discontent with the development, the installation of "Collateral Damage" anti-war statue/s, the Aaron Ahearn trial, and visits of Navy warships to Santa Cruz.
