Summary
This leaflet was issued in 1970 in Melbourne by the Trade Union Anti-conscription Committee for the second of three main moratorium marches in Melbourne between 1970-1971. The first march was by far the biggest, and the photograph on the front of this leaflet is of the first rally, on 8th May 1970. The symbol on front represents the Moratorium Organising Committee.
It was acquired by donor during his period of draft resistance and other anti-conscription activities between 1965 and 1972.
