Opponents of the Vietnam War were commonly referred to as "anti-war activists" or "peace activists." Many identified with the broader counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which included students, civil rights advocates, and various political groups. They organized protests, demonstrations, and public campaigns to voice their opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam, emphasizing themes of peace, justice, and human rights. The term "doves" was also used to describe those who opposed the war, contrasting with "hawks," who supported it.
