NDAA Resolution in Northampton City Council: February 16

posted by Jeff Napolitano

The resolution opposing the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) will be on the agenda of the Northampton City Council on Thursday, February 16.

Check out the Facebook event here!

The resolution is a rejection of the (NDAA), signed by President Obama on December 31st. The NDAA allows the indefinite detention of any personaccused of a “belligerent act” without charge or trial, including American citizens. This resolution sends a strong message to the federal government that such civil rights violations are intolerable.

If passed, Northampton would be the first municipality in Massachusetts to pass a resolution of this nature. Join us in the City Council chambers at 7pm!
