Wisconsin Alliance Background\"The Wisconsin Alliance was a socialist organization founded in Madison in April 1968 by a small group of anti-war activists. The Wisconsin Alliance\'s precursor organization, the Civil Action, Research and Education Project (CAREP), stressed research and the publication of its newsletter “The Organizer.” The Wisconsin Alliance, however, formed to undertake direct action projects. Its goal was to create and sustain a grass-roots worker-small farmer-student coalition, which emphasized electoral politics and local organizing. During its approximately seven-year history, the Alliance ran upwards of twenty electoral campaigns for members seeking local, state, and national office. ... by 1974 the Alliance had founded chapters in the Fox Valley in Appleton-Menasha (1972), in Milwaukee (1973), Green Bay (1973), and Racine-Kenosha (1973). Although no exact membership numbers are available, the state newsletter at its peak in 1971 circulated to approximately two hundred and fifty members. However, with internal political conflict and a declining membership, the group struggled and by the late 1970s, the organization became inactive.\"[From Archival Resources in Wisconsin, ]
