The Vietnam Moratorium Committee at NIH/NIMH was active in the broad movement against the Vietnam War from the committee's formation in 1969 - inspired by the national Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam - until the end of the war in 1975. They worked to educate and mobilize federal workers at the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Mental Health while also participating in events under the umbrella of Federal Employees for Peace. They organized events, published a regular newsletter (The Rainbow Sign), and distributed educational materials, while standing up to attempts from senior government officials to interfere with their efforts.
