The Jobs with Peace campaign gathered thousands of signatures for a Los Angeles city ballot initiative in 1984 calling for the diversion of military spending to social needs. The campaign mobilized members of unions, religious congregations, and community organizations to build a network of precinct-level activists who could turn out voters for progressive causes and candidates. The campaign successfully placed the initiative on the November 1984 ballot, which voters supported by a narrow margin. This flyer illustrated the campaign’s strategy of building on existing union networks in different parts of Los Angeles.
