I worked part time as a draft counselor in a community center in 1970-72. We worked mostly with people trying to file for conscientious objector status, took part in marches, letter writing campaigns, and distributing literature about the draft. We weren't really part of the hard-core resistance movement (meaning we didn't perform acts of sabotage and most of our customers did not want to go to jail.), but we were fellow travellers and, really, just different branches of the same tree.
These pamphlets and posters remind me that everything was hand-made/analog in those days. You can see in this flyer that they used three different typewriters (or different IBM type balls). Maybe it was commercially printed, or maybe it was typed on mimeograph stencils and then duplicated.
