An action group formed by those in the film industry in support of the Hollywood Ten during the hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The group was generally composed of non-Communist New Deal liberal Democrats who opposed the HUAC hearings.
However, under intense political pressure and coercion, several prominent members later reneged on their support and claimed that they were "duped" into supporting the Hollywood Ten.

Those active in the film industry who were members of this prominent group opposing fascism and Nazism. Although it was a front organization for the Stalinist Communist Party USA (CPUSA), it attracted broad support in Hollywood from both members and nonmembers, reflecting wide-spread anti-fascist sentiment. Like many Stalinist front groups, it ceased all anti-Nazi activities immediately upon the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in August 1939.
