American People's Mobilization Collected Records, 1940-1941 (inclusive)

Extent:: 0.63 linear ft. (7.5 linear in.)
Abstract:: In 1940, the Committee to Defend America by Keeping Out of War sponsored an Emergency Peace Mobilization conference held in Chicago (Illinois). It was attended by over 20,000 people. Out of this conference came the American Peace Mobilization, a nonprofit organization which aimed to "keep us out of war and . . . preserve and extend our democracy." Over the months of its existence, the APM -- through its literature, lobbying efforts, and conferences -- continued to press for nonintervention in the war, and advocated for economic liberties and well-being for all, repeal of anti-alien legislation, labor's right to organize and strike, and full civil rights for Negroes. By the summer of 1941 the focus of the APM shifted to advocating assistance to Great Britain and by October of that year, the organization was no longer in existence.
