Radical Responses to the The Great Depression

Flyer. "All Out - Ford Hunger March".
Dearborn, Michigan, June 5, 1933.
Co-Sponsored by the Auto Workers Union and the Unemployment Councils.

Prominent in organizing the jobless and homeless were the Unemployed Councils that sprang up in the early 1930s. Their demands echoed the rhetoric and followed the counsel of the burgeoning Communist Party which controlled the National Federation of Unemployed Councils. Belief in the efficacy of New Deal measures weakened support for these organizations, which were finally shelved by the Party in the Popular Front era of accommodation.
