From the beginning, the NWP focused tightly on Washington DC. It's first headquarters was some distance from the Capitol, but as soon as finances permitted, NWP moved closer, a mere block from the White House. These maps and timeline show the locations of picket lines, arrests, and meetings in the nation's capital. |
This map and timeline database show more than 400 NWP actions outside of Washington DC where the organization was headquartered and where it focused its efforts. Filter by year and state. |
