The Seattle Liberation Front, or SLF, was a radical anti-Vietnam War organization in Seattle, Washington, in the United States. The group, founded by then-University of Washington professor and political activist Michael Lerner, carried out its protest activities from 1970 to 1971.
The most famous members of the SLF were the "Seattle Seven" — seven SLF members charged with "conspiracy to incite a riot" in the wake of a violent protest at a courthouse. The members of the Seattle Seven were Lerner himself, as well as "The Dude"Jeff Dowd, Joe Kelly, Susan Stern, Michael Abeles, Chip Marshall, and Roger Lippman.
