PICKERING RANKIN NEWSLETTER #1 (June 11, 1880-May 18, 1973)
Compiled
by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, and Ecology
Rankin's two terms in
Congress coincided with U.S. entry into both World
Wars. A lifelong pacifist, she was one of 56 members of Congress
who voted
against entry into World War I in 1917, and the only member of
Congress to vote against declaring war on
Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.[3][4] In
addition, she was the only woman to cast a Congressional vote in favor of the Constitutional
Amendment granting
women unconditional voting rights.

What’s at stake:
Instead
of Warriors, let us celebrate those who tried and are trying to prevent
killing. Let us truly strive to stop the
expansion of the National Cemeteries.

firemen, teachers, Emergency Medical workers, police, all workers killed in the
line of duty. See “Service” Newsletter.

FALLBACK POSITION,
GOOD BUT LUKEWARM COMPARED TO RANKIN’S PACIFISM
“Memorial
Day, it seems to me, should also honor the Thoreaus, the conscientious objectors, the anti-war protesters, who attempted
to forestall or shorten the more unjust or immoral of these wars. It isn’t only
the fallen soldiers who served the nation, but also those who worked to ensure
that no soldiers fell in unjust wars, in wars that after the UN Charter was
passed in 1945, would be designated as ‘illegal.’ " Juan Cole,
