SHALOM SEDER [HAGADAH]

Philadelphia, Menorah/Public Resource Enter [sic, Center?], 1983. Presume 1st edition thus, Original Green illustrated paper wrappers, 8vo, 22 pages. "Prepared for the Riverside Church...New York"
No copies in OCLC-Worldcat, and we could find no copies anywhere using a google search. Almost certainly a variant of Waskow's "The Shalom Seder :towards a Passover of Pace" (Published by the author, NY, 1976), which itself has only one holding on OCLC (Harvard, OCLC: 825173050).
It is unclear specifically why the Riverside Church was using this peace and justice Hagadah in 1983, though Riverside Church's role in peace and justice struggles in the preceding decades is certainly related. For example, "‘Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence', also referred as the Riverside Church speech, is an anti-Vietnam War and pro-social justice speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1967, exactly one year before he was assassinated....Some, like civil rights leader Ralph Bunche, the NAACP, and the editorial page writers of The Washington Post and The New York Times called the Riverside Church speech a mistake on King's part. The New York Times editorial suggested that conflating the civil rights movement with the Anti-war movement was an oversimplification that did justice to neither, stating that ‘linking these hard, complex problems will lead not to solutions but to deeper confusion.' Others, including James Bevel, King's partner and strategist in the Civil Rights Movement, called it King's most important speech" (Wikipedia).
The Center for Jewish History in New York includes in it's Arthur Waskow papers a file titled, "Shalom Seder, 1981-1983," which it describes as "materials pertaining to Arthur Waskow's efforts to publish his work, his correspondence with publishers, agreements, copyright information, and other legal documents." Presumably this Copy-machine-produced edition was part of the process over several years of trial and error and the effort to find a commercial-quality publisher for the work. His organization, New Jewish Agenda, published the next year what is clearly a related work, "THE SHALOM SEDERS: THREE HAGGADAHS," (New York, 1984) to which he wrote the introduction. The work includes three hagadahs: The Rainbow Seder; The Seder of the Children of Abraham: and A Haggadah of Liberation.
Indeed, Waskow's famous Freedom Seder, first published in 1969 for the Passover falling on the first anniversary of the assasination of Martin Luther King, jr., wove together the traditional text with passages from leaders of social justice movements, such as Martin Luther King.
Arthur Ocean Waskow (born Arthur I. Waskow; 1933) "is an American author, political activist, and rabbi associated with the Jewish Renewal movement.
Waskow was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He received a bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1954 and a Ph.D. in American history from University of Wisconsin-Madison. He worked from 1959 to 1961 as legislative assistant to Congressman Robert Kastenmeier of Wisconsin. He was a senior fellow at the Peace Research Institute from 1961 through 1963. He joined Richard Barnet and Marcus Raskin and helped to found the Institute for Policy Studies in 1963, and he served as resident fellow until 1977.
In 1968 Waskow was elected an alternate delegate from the District of Columbia to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. His delegation was pledged to support Robert F. Kennedy, and after Kennedy's assassination, Waskow proposed and the delegation agreed to nominate Reverend Channing Phillips, chair of the delegation, for President, the first Black American to be nominated at a major party convention.
Waskow was a contributing editor to Ramparts magazine, which published his ‘Freedom Seder' in 1969. The ‘Freedom Seder' was the first widely published Passover Haggadah that intertwined the archetypal liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Ancient Egypt with more modern liberation struggles such as the Civil Rights Movement and the women's movement.
Through the 1960s, Waskow was active in writing, speaking, electoral politics, and nonviolent action against the Vietnam War. After 1963, he participated in sit-ins and teach-ins and was arrested many times for protests against racial segregation, the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union's oppression of Jews, South African apartheid, and the Iraq war.
In 1967, he was the co-author, with Marcus Raskin, of ‘A Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority,' a widely influential manifesto in support of those who resisted the military draft during the Vietnam War.
Since 1969, Waskow has taken a leadership role in the Jewish Renewal movement....He founded The Shalom Center in 1983 and serves as its director. At first the center primarily addressed the threat of nuclear war; as the times demanded, it turned its focus toward ecology and human rights, then opposition to attacks on American Muslims and to the US War in Iraq, and more recently the dangers of global warming and the climate crisis. In 1993, Waskow co-founded ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal. Between 1993 and 2005, he performed research, wrote, and spoke on behalf of ALEPH.
Waskow was ordained a rabbi in 1995 by a transdenominational beth din (rabbinical court) made up of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, with Lubavitch Hasidic lineage; Rabbi Max Ticktin, ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary (Conservative); Rabbi Laura Geller, ordained by the Hebrew Union College (Reform); and feminist theologian Dr. Judith Plaskow....
In 2007, Newsweek named him one of the fifty most influential American rabbis....and the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation presented him its Peace and Justice Award. The Forward named him one of America's "Forward Fifty," creative leaders of American Jewish life. In 2014 he was honored by T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights with its first Lifetime Achievement Award as a Human Rights Hero. In 2015, The Jewish Daily Forward named him one of ‘America's most inspiring rabbis'.
In 2017, the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College awarded Waskow its once-a-year honorary doctorate of humane letters.Waskow taught as a Visiting Professor in the religion departments of Swarthmore College (1982-83, on the thought of Martin Buber and on the Book of Genesis and its rabbinic and modern interpretations)....
Beginning with his first arrest in 1963, in a walk-in to end racial segregation by a Baltimore amusement park, and continuing through his arrest at the US Capitol in 2016 in a protest calling for more democratic election processes in the US — getting what he called "Hyper-Wealth" out of election campaigns and ending voter suppression aimed at disfranchising especially racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, the young, and the old— and most recently with arrests in Philadelphia at the ICE offices in protest of US governmental hostility to refugees and immigrants—he was arrested about 26 additional times, each time for a non-violent protest against racism, militarism, polluting the Earth, or interference with democratic process....
