One of Madison's most determined campaigners for peace and justice, Alfred Meyer, is going to try his hand at cleaning up the mess in Washington. While we are sorry to see him go, we know that the world will be a better place for his willingness to up the activist ante.
Meyer, the longtime head of the Madison chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, the chairman of the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice and a consistent heavy lifter with the United Nations Association of Dane County and the Madison Institute, is taking over as the Washington-based program director for the National Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, a nationwide umbrella organization of 35 groups that is working to reduce the threat posed by nuclear weapons.
In addition to Meyer, retiring WNPJ Treasurer Sheila Spear and retiring WNPJ Vice Chairman Cecil Findley will be honored at an event at 5:30 p.m. today at the Red Gym on the UW-Madison campus.
