North Carolina State University, "New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (New Mobe), March on Washington Map". The committee that commissioned this poster's printing was known colloquially as the New Mobe, founded in 1969. The New Mobe was one of many student groups that advocated for resisting the draft during the Vietnam War. Groups like the New Mobe shed light on the often-predatory practices of the draft and on the damage the war inflicted on American and on Vietnamese lives. This poster provides a wealth of information on the kinds of actions the New Mobe and other groups performed in order to voice their opposition to the draft and to the war. Light wear to the poster's surface, four pieces of masking tape on the poster's verso (these were likely applied to the verso shortly after the poster was printed).

[Counterculture][ Social Activism] This striking 1971 protest poster was issued by the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee to promote national participation in Vietnam Moratorium Day, observed on Wednesday, October 13th, 1971. Designed in bold agitprop style, the poster combines militant typography with an urgent visual motif that reflects the escalating tone of the antiwar movement in the early 1970s. New York: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, 1971. Bold white typography with circular graphic emblem at top. Below the emblem, centered white text declares: "we will observe / moratorium day / wed., october 13?? / by" followed by a large white blank space, left intentionally empty for local groups or individuals to fill in their planned action or statement of protest. The poster concludes with a defiant and unequivocal call: "no business as usual! / end the war now!" At the bottom, the issuing organization is credited: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, 17 East 17th Street, New York, N.Y. 10003. The poster is a vivid artifact of the Vietnam Moratorium movement, which began in October 1969 as a coordinated nationwide effort to halt everyday activities in protest of the war. Unlike previous marches and rallies, Moratorium Day called for civic refusal and general strikes, encouraging walkouts from schools, workplaces, and public institutions. By 1971, in the wake of the Cambodian incursion and the publication of the Pentagon Papers, the antiwar movement had taken on a more urgent and radical tone. This poster's slogan-"no business as usual!"-reflects that shift, asserting that complicity in everyday life was untenable while the U.S. continued to bomb and occupy Southeast Asia. As a piece of protest ephemera, the poster is emblematic of the era's graphic culture of resistance: minimalist yet commanding, visually direct yet ideologically expansive. Light handling wear, otherwise very good.

Archive of anti-Vietnam War organizing literature documenting systems of grassroots protest coordination, student mobilization, and peace coalition activism in Ohio between 1969 and 1971. Working in System Mode, the material documents how antiwar organizations, student groups, clergy, labor activists, and peace coalitions coordinated demonstrations, conferences, transportation logistics, and public outreach campaigns opposing United States military involvement in Vietnam. Produced during the peak years of mass antiwar protest, the archive reveals the operational mechanisms through which decentralized coalitions organized national moratoriums, strategy meetings, marches, and political education efforts linking opposition to the war with broader concerns regarding racial inequality, militarism, labor activism, and civil liberties. The material provides primary-source evidence for the study of antiwar movement infrastructure, protest communication networks, and coalition-building within the late 1960s and early 1970s American peace movement. Archive consists of three pieces of antiwar protest literature produced in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, including one broadside, one flyer, and one newspaper-format circular. [1] Vietnam Moratorium Committee / Ohio Peace Action Committee. "What Can You Do?" Columbus: [1969]. Mimeographed flyer promoting participation in the October 15 National Moratorium against the Vietnam War. The text encourages Americans to "devote the day to working for peace" and includes instructions for organizing demonstrations, educational events, and local participation. Directed in part toward students, the flyer urges readers not to be deterred by "dictatorial threats of low grades by a professor." Endorsers include Mayor John Lindsay, Senator Eugene McCarthy, and the United Auto Workers, illustrating the broad coalition supporting the moratorium movement. [2] Cleveland Area Peace Action Council. "Call to a National Anti-War Conference." Cleveland: [1970]. Printed circular announcing a July 4-5 strategy conference at Case Western Reserve University intended to "unify the anti-war movement." The text criticizes the Nixon administration's continuation and escalation of the war while emphasizing the disproportionate burden borne by Black communities and working-class Americans. The document is endorsed by more than twenty organizers including clergy, labor activists, GI counselors, and community organizers. [3] Cleveland Area Peace Action Coalition. "End the War, Stop the Bombing - April 22." Cleveland: [1970]. Illustrated protest flyer featuring a dramatic woodcut-style image of American bombers and advancing infantry. Produced in response to intensified U.S. bombing campaigns in Indochina, the text declares, "There is no moratorium on the daily killing of 300 Indochinese," and includes transportation details for Cleveland participants traveling to demonstrations in New York City. Together, these materials document the logistical and organizational dimensions of the antiwar movement beyond highly publicized national demonstrations, preserving evidence of the local coalition work required to sustain mass protest activity during the Vietnam War era. Particularly notable is the archive's emphasis on interconnected activism, linking opposition to the war with labor organizing, racial justice concerns, student activism, and critiques of state violence. The documents additionally illustrate the broad ideological range of antiwar coalitions during the Nixon years, encompassing students, trade unionists, religious leaders, veterans' advocates, and civil rights organizers. Minor handling wear, folds, and age toning consistent with use in activist distribution; overall very good condition. A concise but historically significant archive of grassroots antiwar organizing and protest infrastructure during the Vietnam War period.
