Membership - Description:
- Appeal from journalist A. Maymudes to delegates of the American Jewish Conference that specifically asks for Los Angeles delegates to be allowed to participate in local elections to be admitted as delegates to the Conference. This may be a speech given at a meeting.
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
