Association Against the Prohibition Amendment information


The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment was established in 1918[1] and became a leading organization working for the repeal of prohibition in the United States. It was the first group created to fight Prohibition, also known as the 18th Amendment. The group was officially incorporated on December 31, 1920.[2] Its activities consisted of meetings, protests, and distribution of informational pamphlets and it operated solely upon voluntary financial contribution.[2] Due to low amount of financial contributions, the Association was largely stagnant until prominent members joined in the mid-1920s.[3]
