  1. IWW, Progressive and Labor Propaganda during World War I

  2. Assignment • Each group will be assigned an image. • Identify the message of the image • Contextualize the image by explaining how the group to which it was directed was affected by World War I.

  3. Propaganda and Labor • The AFL and other trade unions saw the war as an opportunity to gain respect for the labor movement. • The CPI produced propaganda that would encourage this perception.

  4. Progressive Propaganda • Progressives wanted to use the war as an opportunity for reform. • As such, the CPI produced propaganda with messages that would resonate with progressive audiences.

  5. The IWW and Propaganda • The International Workers of the World were one of the few decidedly anti-war groups in America at the time. • They viewed the war as a capitalist’s war. Workers should unite against the world’s capitalists, rather than acting as pawns for those capitalists. • Their propaganda tried to persuade Americans to not participate in the war.
