The Ban Bus

Ban cluster bombs!

Ban bus arrives in Ann Arrbor

November 13, 1997 By: Mette Category: Ban bus USA

(Ann Arbor, MI: November 13, 1997) The Ban Bus began the frigid day at an outdoor rally at the University of Michigan. After a welcome by the mayor of Ann Arbor, campaigners spoke to the issue of the U.S. not signing the treaty. Student groups were there in fall force, mobilizing students to take action by signing postcards to President Clinton and writing letters to members of Congress.

The group split up and spoke at Ypsilanti High School, Allen Elementary School, Slauson Middle School, the Islamic School, and St. Thomas School. Media presence included The Michigan Daily and the Ann Arbor News.

The evening rounded out with a potluck dinner and a presentation at St. Mary’s Student Parish. Campaigners thanked Senator Levin and Representatives Stupak, Ehlers, Camp, Barcia, Upton, Stabenow, Kildee, Bonior, Levin, Rivers, and Conyers for sponsoring the Landmine Elimination Act. The Ban Bus urged people to call on Senator Abraham and Representatives Hoekstra, Smith, Knollenberg, Kilpatrick, and Dingelll to co-sponsor House Bill 2459 and Senate Bill 896.

A big thank you goes out to Jeff Surfas, Interfaith Peace aid Justice and the countless others who helped him!
