A flyer calling for volunteers to register voters during the Jobs with Peace campaign

We talk about voter registration, Let’s Do It!

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.
