Guide to mass anti-Vietnam War march: 1971

A tabloid-sized guide to the massive April 24, 1971 anti-Vietnam War march on Washington and some of the subsequent events is published by the Student Mobilization Committee.

The April 24th march was probably the largest single march against the war involving upwards of 500,000 people and was sponsored mainly by the National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC).

The four-page guide shows the march route, the sites of some coalition members gathering points, aid stations and nearby restaurants. It also lists planned activities endorsed by the SMC.

The antiwar movement had split into two principal factions by this point—NPAC and the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ).

NPAC was a single-issue coalition around ending the Vietnam War focused almost solely on mass protest demonstrations and largely staffed by the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and its allied organizations. The SMC was allied with this group and largely led by the SWP.

The PCPJ was a multi-issue coalition opposing the Vietnam War, racism and favoring economic justice. It was largely staffed by the Communist Party USA and allied groups and favored other tactics besides marches, including civil disobedience.

This tabloid contains no mention of the Vietnam veterans protest that occurred the full week before the NPAC sponsored march and no mention of the PCPJ marches and civil disobedience conducted the week after. It also does not mention the planned Mayday civil disobedience.

In contrast, the PCPJ participated in the April 24th mass march.
