( ( c P.O. Box 471i Cooper Station New York, New York 10003 January 15, 196Ç To All Organizers, NCers, and At-Largers Dear Comrades, The GI-Civ :'cn Antiwar Action Conference and the SMC conference proposed antiwar actions on Easter Sunday, April 6, in 7 regional centers: Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Austin, and Seattle. Thesewill be GI marches supported by mass participation of civilians demand»- ing that the troops be brought home now. The SMC aims especially at mobilizing both high school youth and GIs. The Gl-Civ lian conference was broadly endorsed and, in spite of terrible weather, was attended by about 300 people, including a significant representation of the adult antiwar coalition and the antiwar GIs. Sid Peck, Sid Lens, Leroy Wolins and others attended and participated. 30 GIs attended from 15 bases and 14 different organizations or GI newspapers. Every GI organization or newspaper of signifigance was there. The conference call to action has quickly received support. In Los Angeles, the Peace Action Council has endorsed the action, as has the Chicago Peace Council and the Cleveland Peace Action Council. In Atlanta, a new coalition has boon . formed to build April 6. We have not yet received word from Sen Francisco and Austin. In New York, most of the antiwar forces are involved in preparations for the Inauguration weekend action, January 18-20. The Parade Committee will discuss April 6 after the Washington Inauguration action. T/.e Inauguration action- "tàhile originally conceived of by the Dellinger-Davis leadership as an extension of National Mobe's course over the past period, is now being presented in a different light. Realizing its own weakness and lack of support, the Mobe has made a number of concessions to the right, including -emphasising the "confrontation" angle; and it has also made concessions to the left, including the rehiring of Fred Halstead by the Parade Committee, and a renewed emphasis on the war as the central issue in the Inauguration action, and the necessi-tyto involve GIs in the demonstrations. Many individuals and organizations are presently looking for a means of protesting the continuation of the war, and this Washington action therefore is receiving increased support - cert inly greater support than the National Mobe's November election nrotest had.
