01
Artifact Overview
The National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC), formed in 1970, was an umbrella organization composed of local and national groups that opposed U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam. Single-minded in this cause, NPAC accepted all who wanted to end the war, avoiding entanglements in other social and political issues that may have split the coalition. The organization conducted numerous peaceful anti-war demonstrations throughout America.
