This includes the feminist movement, Gay liberation, and solidarity actions. The bulk of the records pertain to Diamond's work with the Revolutionary Workers League in the 1970s. The RWL was formed in 1977 through the fusion of two Canadian-based Trorskyist parties, the Revolutionary Marxist Group and Groupe Marxiste Revolutionnaire.
