The Weather Underground organized collectives around the United States in an attempt "to challenge the state directly in solidarity with Third World liberation movements, particularly the Black Power movement in the United States and the Vietnamese in Southeast Asia."[1] Collectives organized the white working class against imperialism by holding militant demonstrations and engaging in small scale property damage.[2]
