Voice of Action (Seattle). Vol. 2 No. 7. May 15, 1934.

The Voice of Action emerged in 1933 from a split in Seattle’s Socialist-dominated Unemployed Citizens League and their newspaper, The Vanguard, which had banned Communist supporters from their pages. The Hunger Marches had led many into the movement and the Communist-led UCL through the Washington State Committee of Action, the National Lumber Workers’ Union, the Fishermen and Cannery Workers’ Industrial Union began publishing in March, 1933. Lowell Alvin Wakefield and Alan were editors of the paper which lasted until the inauguration of the Popular Front in 1936 and the Voice was folded into The Washington Commonwealth. During its run, the Voice documented the Depression in the Pacific Northwest and covered the defining struggles of West Coast labor during the waterfront strikes, including 1934’s General Strike.
