He was prominent in the 1930s with helping workers unionize in California and Washington, helping to organize and participate in the 1934 Pacific Coast Maritime Strike in San Francisco.

His later years were spent opposing the Vietnam War and nuclear proliferation as well as serving with other socially progressive causes.
