Argument Oral argument Opinion announcement Opinion announcement Prior Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio States cannot require a minor political party to disclose its membership or associates, when doing so would jeopardize the safety of those persons.Brown v. Socialist Workers '74 Campaign Committee, 459 U.S. 87 (1982), was a United States Supreme Court case that dealt with political speech, and whether a state could require a minor political party to disclose its membership, expenditures, and contributors.
At the time, most states required political parties to disclose their contributions and expenditures; in 1982, the Court ruled that the Socialist Workers Party, a minor party in Ohio, was not required to disclose its contributors or recipients, on the basis of retributive animus and harassment if party functionaries did so.[1]
