Chicago Area Draft Resisters records, 1967-1975.

Newsletters, newspaper clippings, publications, fliers, correspondence, testimonials, and other records of the Chicago Area Draft Resisters (CADRE), which opposed the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, especially the U.S. selective services system that drafted men to serve in the armed forces during the war. Materials relate to CADRE's anti-war rallies, publications, legal counseling for draft resisters and conscientious objectors, and efforts to educate high school and college students about draft issues. Some printed materials are reissues of materials produced by other anti-war organizations. Also included in the collection is one folder (box 1) related to the Chicago Gay Alliance (CGA), including the CGA constitution, fliers, and three issues of Chicago Gay Pride (1971-1973) and two issues of Men's Gathering (1973-1974) newsletters.
