Alliance to End Repression records, 1969-1986.

Correspondence, memos, announcements, meeting minutes, topical files, and constituent organization files of the Chicago-based Alliance to End Repression, a fifty-member consortium of churches, labor unions, human relations, and community groups, concerned with issues such as opposition to the death penalty, protection of prisoners' rights, gay rights, constitutional rights, and opposition to police surveillance for political purposes. Includes files on the Alliance's lawsuit, 1974-1981, against the Chicago Police Department's Red Squad, in which the Alliance sought to halt surveillance of persons engaging in leftist political activities rather than crimes.
