The Yippies had no formal membership or hierarchy: Abbie Hoffman, Anita Hoffman , and Paul Krassner were among the founders of the Yippies (according to his own account, Krassner coined the name). Other activists associated with the Yippies include Jerry Rubin, Stewart Alpert , Dick Gregory, and Ed Sanders.
Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin became the most famous Yippies—and bestselling authors—in part due to publicity surrounding the five-month Chicago Seven Conspiracy trial of 1969. Hoffman and Rubin were arguably the most colorful of the seven defendants accused of criminal conspiracy and inciting to riot at the 1968 Democratic National ConventionThe 1968 Democratic National Convention was held in Chicago by the United States Democratic Party, for the purposes of choosing the Democratic nominee for the 1968 U. Presidential Election. The convention itself was held between August 26 and August 29, 1. Hoffman and Rubin used the trial as a platform for Yippie antics--at one point, they showed up in court attired in judicial robes.
