American Deserters Committee Newsletter, February 3, 1970
The American Deserters Committee in Montreal helped hundreds of U.S. soldiers who refused to fight in Vietnam find housing, jobs, and legal status in Canada. They ran a hostel, organized community events, and gave deserters a chance to speak publicly about the atrocities they had seen in Vietnam. The group also pushed for amnesty in the U.S., arguing that refusing to fight in an unjust war should not be punished as a crime.
