The Flint War Council was a series of meetings of the Weather Underground Organization and associates in Flint, Michigan, that took place from 27–31 December 1969.[69] During these meetings, the decisions were made for the Weather Underground Organization to go underground[2] and to "engage in guerilla warfare against the U.S. government."[70] This decision was made in response to increased pressure from law enforcement,[71] and a belief that underground guerilla warfare was the best way to combat the U.S. government.[70]
