The 1958 case NAACP v. Alabama struck down the requirement that organizations provide membership lists to the government on the basis of freedom of association. The court reasoned that in this case, requiring the NAACP to disclose their membership to the state of Alabama violated the 14th Amendment.

I believe the answer is: providing membership lists to the government

The case started when the state of Alabama sought to prevent National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for conducting further business,
in which the state required
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to provide list of members to issue a restraining order.
The court than rule out that the state action is a direct violation of the 14th amendment.
