MAY DAY 1971
It'll m<»a»
As you know, the Spring
Offensive Against the War has
begun.
The week lone encampment
of the Vietnam V'eterans Against
the War, and the massive April
24
demonstration
have
had •
their elfect on the American
people, but they have still nol
brought about an end to the war.
The veterans who have
been lobbying tell us that a
matwitv of Congressmen and
Senators are still in favor of
continuing the war, either by
keeping U.S. troops in Vietnam
until mid 1972, or by continuing
the inhuman bombing, (one and
a
half Hiroshimas
a day,)
against the people of Indo-China.
The People's Lobby, sponsored by the P e o p l e ' s Coalition
for Peace and J u s t i c e , is lobbying al Congress, and at
government agencies connected
wilh the war machine. T h e
P e o p l e ' s Lobby, which includes
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the National Welfare Rights Organization, is also demanding a guaranteed annual income of $6,500
for a family of four, and freedom
for all political prisoners.
The
People's Lobby
is
holding
small-scale,
nonviolent civil disobedience actions between April 26-30 to
emphasize the seriousness of
the demands.
The people at Mayday are
convinced that t h e government
will not stop the war by May 1,
nor will they accede to the
other two demands, which the
Commillee fully supports. On
April 21, they handed VicePresident Agnew, House Speaker
Albert, and other key Senators
and Congressmen an ultimatum
containing three demands. The
ultimatum is enclosed.
If the government fails to
act on the ultimatum by May 1.
then on May 3 a massive, nonviolent disruption will begin all
over Washington, D.C. The aim
will be to stop the government
from functioning. As the committee has said in the past, " I f
the government will not stop the
war, the people will stop the
government."
On May 3rd and 4th an
attempt will be made lo block
key
intersections
all
over
Washington, further, the P e o p l e ' s
Coalition will try to prevent
the Pentagon and the J ustice
Department from functioning.
On May 5 all efforts will
be focused on a massive, nonviolent
encirclement
of the
Congress.
The
committee
believes that the C o n g r e s s can
stop the war if it wants lo.
They will make it impossible
for the government lo fund ion
unless the war comes to an
immediate end.
The
Mayday
committee
believes that Congress will not
move on t h e i s s u e s of the war,
the
guaranteed
income
and
freedom for political prisoners
unless it is forced to. The
Vietnam Vets have explained
how difficult it i s , even for
lliem, lo get through to many of
the Congressmen and Senators.
" F r i e n d l y " Congressmen and
Senators have bewailed their
inability lo move through the
legislative p r o c e s s .
The
Mayday
Committee
hopes to see you in Washington,
D.C. beginning May 1. On that
day ill re will be a festival so
lite to eolebrale the people's
p e a c e . (Jn May 2, there will be
a "Soul R a l l y " sponsored by the
SCEC and NWRO.
On May 3, the serious, nonviolent disruptions of government liot'in.

Dear Members of Congress and
Government Officials:
We have waited long enough for you to act, and you
have r e f u s e d . Be informed that
by Monday, May 3rd, we will
initiale and s u s t a i n , from our
collective encampment, massive
non-violent resistance lo the
destructive policies and actions
conducted by the United States
Governn.ont. Unless C o n g r e s s
acts by May 1st
1) t o impose an immediate
withdrawl of all U.S.
troops and logistical support in accordance wilh
the eight points of the
J o i n t Treaty of P e a c e ,
2) to provide the people with
a guaranteed minimum annual imcome, based on a
scale of $6500 for a family of four, and massive
manpower training and job
creation programs,
and 3) to secure t h e freedom of
all political prisoners,
we will stop the normal functioning of government. We will
be a s s i s t e d by a governmental
Workers' strike against t h e war.
We can wail no longer, we must
act.
We are a coalition of many
peoples who are committed to a
non-violent action and guided by
a life spirit that makes it impossible for us lo carry out
business a s usual, while thousands of Vietnamese, L a o t i a n s ,
Cambodians, and Americans die
because of your complicity with
the present R a c i s t , Sexist, and
Genocidal sysiem. As Spring
rains fall across valleys and
towns, so the Days of May have
already begun. R e s i s t a n c e grows
as this notice is read. Il can be
seen on the walls of buildings,
swirling through tlie s t r e e t s on
leaflets, at Dewey Canyon III,
and, in fact, around the planet.
The spirit and dedications of
enraged ps;ople is being felt
intercommunally and will not
w a i t . We must stop the war now.
Our actions will be completely non-violent. We urge you
to sign the P e o p l e s ' P e a c e
Treaty. We urge you to ensure
that police and army officials
in no way try to interfere with
our activities, and in no way
try lo break up our non-violent
disobedience. We intend to u s e
our i s l Amendment rights to
t h e i r full extent. There will be
t e n s of thousands of people
descending on Washington beginning April 24th prepared to
stay to see t h e war end. We will
exercise the principle that a

On May 5t1i, a nationwide
moratorium will occur to
comemorate the killings at
Jackson and Kent State last
year. I t will be a spring offensive against war, poverty,
racism, and repression. In
conjunction with the activities in Washington, D.C, we
are planning a series of
discussions to educate and
inform the entire community
about these issues.
