Records of the National Peace Action Coalition, a national coalition (1970-1973) that opposed U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam. Although incomplete, the collection is revealing about NPAC's own activities and its often acrimonious dealings with the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice. Included are files on NPAC's internal structure, correspondence, financial records, publications, and other general records; activities files; and a small affiliate file. Material relating to NPAC's internal structure includes announcements, agenda, and minutes for many meetings of the national steering committee and lists of members and affiliated locals. General correspondence includes exchanges with various affiliates such as the Student Mobilization Committee which were most often written by national coordinators Stephanie Coontz and Jerry Gordon and by Ron Wolin and other staff members; legal correspondence relating to an investigation of NPAC by the House Internal Security Committee for its alleged socialist domination; and exchanges with international opponents of the war in Japan, Vietnam, and other countries. Activity files relate to various actions and anti-war conventions in which NPAC participated.
