Preamble of the Declaration of the General Defense Committee

The aims of this organization shall be to provide defense and relief to 
members of the working class who are being persecuted for their activity in 
the class struggle.

Coordinating our efforts will enable the General Defense Committee to oppose 
the vicious onslaught of the master class with a powerful defense, 
especially when labor is engaged in industrial strife.

It has been found in past labor struggles that the lack of adequate defense 
has resulted in many of the most active fighters for labor being arrested 
and imprisoned for long periods of time or being legally murdered by the 
employing class.

It shall be the purpose of the General Defense Committee to aid those who 
find themselves persecuted by the powers that be in their struggle for 
justice and freedom.

It shall also be the purpose of the General Defense Committee to publish and 
distribute literature exposing the false and reactionary propaganda of the 
master class.

By organizing the many and centralizing their efforts in each instance, 
labor will be given the protection of the entire working class, thereby 
making an injury to one the concern of all.
