On September 4, 1978 WRL members launched simultaneous disarmament demonstrations on the White House Lawn in Washington DC and in Red Square in Moscow USSR. This creative—and maybe rash—action was the brainchild of WRL staffers, notably Jerry Coffin and Lynne Shatzkin Coffin.
I was honored to be tasked to lead the Washington contingent.
It’s been more than 50 years, but I still remember the ITT demonstration as one of the most creative and dramatic WRL actions of that furiously turbulent time in the antiwar movement. It was also one of the most fun.
