{"value"=>"<p>Files in Organizations and Conferences consist of Wynner's notes and statements from conferences, congressional hearings, and organizational meetings, as well as minutes, programs, and photographs of events. Materials in this series document Wynner's activism and participation in conferences to shape the creation of a democratically elected world governing body. Her earliest activist efforts in Chicago are represented in the Federation of Active Pacifist Youth files. One of the more significant events Wynner contributed to-the Conference of the World Movement for World Federal Government-is also represented in this series. In addition to world government activism, she advocated for pacifism and feminism; her photographs in this series show her participation in protests and demonstrations for these causes into the 1980s.</p> <p>General notes contain written shorthand notes on a range of events, some of which are unidentified. Wynner's secretarial notes are filed here, as her work with both Schwimmer and Usborne directly related to and supported their work in the world government movement. Wynner's hearing statements are accompanied by early drafts and revisions. Conference material includes minutes, programs, and Wynner's notes on sessions; the general conference files contain documents from a range of conferences without original material from Wynner. The series also contains ephemera, such as a t-shirt and buttons from demonstrations.</p> <p>Files for the Campaign for World Government and Griffin-O'Day Bill Committee offer scant coverage of Wynner's participation in each organization. For complete documentation, see the Campaign for World Government New York Office records and the Schwimmer-Lloyd collection: Griffin-O'Day Bill Committee records, respectively. Wynner's work for the World Peace Prize for Rosika Schwimmer committee is found in the Lola Maverick Lloyd papers, Series I.C.</p>"}
