Eastman also became executive director of the [[American Union Against Militarism]], which lobbied against America's entrance into the European war and more successfully against war with Mexico in 1916.<ref name=":05">{{cite web |date=April 6, 2017 |title=Examining the American peace movement prior to World War I |url=https://www.americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2017/04/06/examining-american-peace-movement-prior-world-war-i |access-date=October 20, 2019 |website=America Magazine}}</ref> This group sought to remove profiteering from arms manufacturing and campaigned against [[conscription]], imperial adventures, and [[military intervention]].<ref name=":05" />

When the United States entered World War I, Eastman, together with [[Roger Nash Baldwin|Roger Baldwin]] and [[Norman Thomas]] organized  the [[National Civil Liberties Bureau]] (NCLB) to protect [[conscientious objectors]] or, in her words: "To maintain something over here that will be worth coming back to when the weary war is over."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Crystal Eastman |url=http://www.aclu.org/documents/crystal-eastman |access-date=2023-07-06 |website=American Civil Liberties Union |language=en-US}}</ref> The NCLB grew into the [[American Civil Liberties Union]](ACLU), with Baldwin at the head and Eastman functioning as attorney-in-charge. Eastman is credited as a founding member of the ACLU, but her role as founder of the NCLB may have been largely ignored by posterity because of her personal differences with Baldwin.<ref name="vassar2">{{cite web |title=Crystal Eastman |url=http://innovators.vassar.edu/innovator.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110508215249/http://innovators.vassar.edu/innovator.html?id=23 |archive-date=May 8, 2011 |access-date=October 18, 2011 |publisher=Vassar College: Innovators}}</ref>
