in <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>, <a href="/wiki/Illinois" title="Illinois">Illinois</a> by <a href="/wiki/Fred_Hampton" title="Fred Hampton">Fred Hampton</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Black_Panther_Party" title="Black Panther Party">Black Panther Party</a>, along with William "Preacherman" Fesperman of the <a href="/wiki/Young_Patriots_Organization" title="Young Patriots Organization">Young Patriots Organization</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jose_Cha_Cha_Jimenez" title="Jose Cha Cha Jimenez">José Cha Cha Jiménez</a>, founder of the <a href="/wiki/Young_Lords" title="Young Lords">Young Lords</a>. It was the first of several 20th-century <a href="/wiki/Black_people" title="Black people">black</a>-led organizations to use the "rainbow coalition" concept. </p><p>Other prominent members of the Rainbow Coalition included Young Patriot members Jack "Junebug" Boykin, Bobby Joe Mcginnis, and Hy Thurman, as well as Field Marshall Bobby Lee of the Black Panthers. </p><p>The Rainbow Coalition's first alliance was between the Young Patriots and the Black Panthers by Bob Lee.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hampton then incorporated the Young Lords. The Rainbow Coalition soon included various <a href="/wiki/Radical_politics" title="Radical politics">radical</a> <a href="/wiki/Socialism" title="Socialism">socialist</a> community groups like the <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Park" title="Lincoln Park">Lincoln Park</a> Poor People's Coalition, and <a href="/wiki/Rising_Up_Angry" title="Rising Up Angry">Rising Up Angry</a>. The coalition was later joined nationwide by the <a href="/wiki/Students_for_a_Democratic_Society" title="Students for a Democratic Society">Students for a Democratic Society</a> ("SDS"), the <a href="/wiki/Brown_Berets" title="Brown Berets">Brown Berets</a>, the <a href="/wiki/American_Indian_Movement" title="American Indian Movement">American Indian Movement</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Red_Guard_Party" title="Red Guard Party">Red Guard Party</a>. In April 1969, Hampton called several press conferences to announce that this "Rainbow Coalition" had formed. The Rainbow Coalition engaged in joint action against <a href="/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States" title="Poverty in the United States">poverty</a>, <a href="/wiki/Corruption_in_the_United_States" title="Corruption in the United States">corruption</a>, <a href="/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States" title="Racism in the United States">racism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Police_brutality_in_the_United_States" title="Police brutality in the United States">police brutality</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Slum" title="Slum">substandard housing</a>. The participating groups supported each other at <a href="/wiki/Protest" title="Protest">protests</a>, <a href="/wiki/Strike_action" title="Strike action">strikes</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Political_demonstration" title="Political demonstration">demonstrations</a> where they had a common cause. </p><p>The coalition espoused an iteration of <a href="/wiki/Militant" title="Militant">militancy</a> that aimed to decrease urban unemployment, promote public education, and advance "class" solidarity. For instance, in a 1970 issue of <i>The Patriot</i>, the Young Patriots Organization called for nonviolent support of <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Seale" title="Bobby Seale">Bobby Seale</a> (on trial), but also declared that "Guns in the Hands of the Police Represent Capitalism and Racism...Guns In the Hands of the People Represent Socialism and Solidarity."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Scholars distinguish this militancy from the <a href="/wiki/Direct_action" title="Direct action">direct action</a> of "militant nonviolence" formulated by <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Martin Luther King, Jr.">Martin Luther King, Jr.</a>, weeks before his assassination during the 1968 <a href="/wiki/Poor_People%27s_Campaign" title="Poor People's Campaign">Poor People's Campaign</a>, by <a href="/wiki/Erik_Erikson" title="Erik Erikson">Erik Erikson</a> in <i><a href="/wiki/Gandhi%27s_Truth" title="Gandhi's Truth">Gandhi's Truth</a></i> (1969), and by <a href="/wiki/Coretta_Scott_King" title="Coretta Scott King">Coretta Scott King</a> during the 1970 imprisonment of <a href="/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez" class="mw-redirect" title="César Chávez">César Chávez</a>.

organization-driven social movements. Chicago was home to organizations like the Illinois <a href="/wiki/Black_Panther_Party" title="Black Panther Party">Black Panther Party</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Young_Lords" title="Young Lords">Young Lords</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Young_Patriots_Organization" title="Young Patriots Organization">Young Patriots</a>, and later <a href="/wiki/Rising_Up_Angry" title="Rising Up Angry">Rising Up Angry</a>. These organizations all sought to address issues like discrimination in housing, health, and civil society at large. With the exception of RUA, these organizations all attempted to address these issues of class-based discrimination though it was explicitly through the lens of their organization's racial identification. The Rainbow Coalition was formed when Bob Lee, Field Marshall of the ILBPP, coincidentally spoke alongside the Young Patriots at a community event at the Church of Three Crosses in Chicago. At this event, Bob Lee witnessed arguments between upper-class and lower-class whites about police brutality and poverty. To Lee, this event presented a link between the struggle that poor whites and African Americans experienced. As a result, the Rainbow Coalition was formed to unite racial groups to fight against the underlying class-based systems they believed to be the cause of the discrimination they experienced. After this event, Fred Hampton grew the group to include the Young Lords, RUA, Chicagoan gangs, and other '<a href="/wiki/New_Left" title="New Left">New Left</a>' organizations in the Chicago area.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
