ARCATA, Calif. — Arcata officials have declared their city a sanctuary for anyone who cannot support the war against Iraq.
Just hours after the United States began bombing missions in the Persian Gulf, the Arcata City Council on Wednesday censured the war effort with a sweeping resolution for peace.
The move followed similar actions this week by the Berkeley City Council and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
Under the measure, city employees would not aid any conscription efforts, nor would city funds be used.
