At the convention, a workshop on sabotage and explosives was held.  Earlier in the year, a pamphlet bearing the inscription "An Argument for Sabotage as the Next Logical Step Toward Obstruction and Disruption of the U.S. War Machine" was mailed from Toronto, Canada to over 300 antiwar groups throughout the U.S. The document urged the use of incendiary devices and included detailed instructions and diagrams.

The illegal and clandestine nature of such violent activity was emphasized.  Also, it was during this convention that Naomi Jaffe, later to become a Weatherman, claimed to have shot down an American fighter plane with an anti-aircraft gun and to have assisted in the capture of an American pilot during her earlier trip to Hanoi.
