Slogans or Demands
Over the years the organization focused on four main demands, the exact wording of which varied from time to time. Roughly speaking, these demands were:
- Peace conversion without loss of jobs
- No components for nuclear weapons
- No cluster bombs or other conventional weapons.
- Worker and community control over Honeywell and the nation's corporation.
Most of the banners and signs appearing at the organization's events referred to one of these slogans. The first three of these demands seems to have had the most support within the organization and thus received the highest attention. However when leafleting the Honeywell plants the labor activists in the organization also focused on the fourth.

Famous quotes containing the words slogans and/or demands:
“The art of the critic in a nutshell: to coin slogans without betraying ideas. The slogans of an inadequate criticism peddle ideas to fashion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep, and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
