The United National Antiwar Committee (UNAC) was formed at a July 23-25 Albany, New York national anti­war conference of 800 antiwar and social justice leaders and activists from 35 states. The conference adopted a 28-point, nine-month Action Plan culminating in bi-coastal mass dem­onstrations on April 9 in New York City and San Francisco.
