The San Francisco Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights (BACORR) responded to Operation Rescue-California's "Summer of Missions '94" caravan through central California and the S.F. Bay Area by putting a crew of follow cars on the road, which provided detailed reporting on the activity of the caravan to clinic defense teams throughout the region. Local support for OR was consistently weak at the clinics. OR made four attempts to harrass physicians at their homes. The targeted physician in San Jose had moved, the one in Sacramento was out of the country, and the two in Contra Costa county had neighbors turn out in their support. One of them vowed to work with BACORR's Strong Link Coalition and get involved with Medical Students for Choice. The police were supportive of OR in several instances. In Monterey County police, after not impeding an OR invasion of a medical building courtyard, escorted OR out of town, while CHP officers picked out and followed BACORR vehicles interspersed in the caravan. In Ft. Bragg the police, including the police chief, refused to assist an 18-year old with complications to her pregnancy at the request of clinic staff when OR members blocked her entrance into Women's Health Clinic.

Well, I'm workin' it from this end. The materials Maile sent me have *already* been instrumental towards this end; I *really* hope to pick up many more brochures when I'm down there. BTW, it looks like FW Helms will be getting in on Saturday, so I guess I'll hook up with him later. I was just at the FNB meeting, where I left flyers for the 22nd and announced the action. BACORR's been informed too, and wants to do some sorta outreach around the whole ball of assembled wax. (This might, however, take the form of sending stuff along with me). I plan to do a mailing to my Special List early next week, and if I can make it back in time, bring it up at the GOC meeting Sunday. (Anyone down there wanna drive up here Sunday morning, maybe make that scene? Please keep an ear to the ground...) Something else to entice the driver: me and FW Mark Nevin, with whom I spent some quality time last night brainstorming on Assembly support coordination, are gonna go over to the e. bay Infoshop Sun. after the GOC meeting, and do the dinner there. Hopefully, we can hook up with FW Helms and be a relatively FABulous contingent.

Lots of (low-key) Fellow Workers in the mix... Um, there were already SCGMB pamphlets on the criminalization of poverty there; no one quite knew who had dropped 'em off. I left flyers for video night and copies of that sentinel article on the sitting ban ruling. Lots of folx, meanwhile, are quite interested in the GA. They've been hearing aboput it, and are hungry for more info. FW Craig Metz (of the UCBerkeley Recyclers Job Shop, who have been reconsidering their affiliation with the union/Robt. Rush, BTW) has an office there, and would be a good person to send things to.

Also, I met FW Stephen Dunifer last night. He's interested in doing some sorta broadcast from the GA-- show or otherwise. Also, he's a proud member of the Joe Hill Memorial Society. He's getting a copy of a Gurley Flynn tape from Wayne State archives, which he will gladly share with us (as well as, probably, broadcast from). He's got a bunch of printed stuff from wob history, which he has plans to scan into a computer and publish on CD ROM. We spent quite a while connecting... His e-mail address is: frbspd@crl.com BTW, I'm sending along much useful info to FW Phillips, along the lines of what FW Israel said he was asking about. I also have a reference to someone at Natl. Lawyers Guild... What else? Oh yeah-- East Bay FNB!!! We almost forgot. FW Craig has some contax; let's go ahead and send em stuff too. I hope to get over there more, but there's only two Sundays between now and GA, so don't just wait for me!Let's all solicit their participation. I'm gonna try to put together a mailing today; send me a show &/or action flyewr template ASAP, and I'll copy it off at GHQ. Me and Mark are gonna get the bay area phone list and work it, sometime this week. That's about it in a nutshell or two. Gotta get to work.

Maybe someone will surprise us, but I don't even think anyone there is eligible (Rush thought I was-- I pointed out that even if I wanted to, which I DON'T, I'm one month short of 3 years in Sept., Technically speaking). I suggested that they must think we have a Hidden Agenda, because they equate a race for General Assembly with a factional Power Play. He agreed, and we both bemoaned that kinda attitude as not what it's about. I mean, we may have fresh ideas for referendum, but in terms of "what we're doing" with GA, all our cards are on the table. Their paranoia problems are, in short, their own. (BTW, I think any "repurcussions" of this kinda rumor-mongering is only gonna make us look better, as if we needed the help with image!) ANYhow, I told Rush I'd happily leave the Holding of the Fort to him (as opposed to going for it myself). He said he's not running again. As for who is, the scoop is that Fred Chase (Ann Arbor) plans to run for GST. Wonder why "the midwest" is worried about a S.C. candidate... So that's the scoop. Vision, or Factions? Solidarity?

First, the funny story du jour and then I'll get to work... So I leave a note for GST Rush, cuz I made about 350 copies on the orifice machine, and he's requested the courtesy by way of a note posted on said machine, which he loves dearly. ANYway, a lot of it was stuff for the mailing, but also the Chiapas news, EF! Headwaters flyers, some GA registration forms... (didn't send those along too, as what there was was *exactly* one ounce!) So I leave this note, in which I'm also trying to prepare our fearful leader for the fact that my letter is awfully, well, open to those whose dues status is, shall we say, UNCLEAN. It's the truth (documentation follows) that all I mailed to are or have (relatively) recently been of the OBU tribe. So I'm telling him what's up, that I sent him a copy via the post too (for the situational affirmations, like the letters coming back *out* of the postal system, you know?), and I'm trying to get with him to talk about logistics around GA and all these things. BTW, he says that won't happen til next week. Fortunately, that still leaves a week; he has a GOB to get out and a day to take off... ANYway. So he calls me up at work, upon finding my note(s) on his desk, and he asks me "How do you know how to contact so many former wobblies," in a manner kinda concerned and not very chatty. I realize he thinks I just mailed to 350 malingering non-dues-payers!!! Imagine his consternation. I giggled and explained it was only about 40 or 45 people, and there's as many current wobs in the mix as former ones, FWs moved up here from SC, etc. etc. I mean, does Robert Rush like to worry, or is he simply worry's plaything? Or what? Speaking of worry... just when Robert Rush seemed to be communing with rainy days and Mondays... okay, so he's not standing, er running for re-election. We know (from Rush) that Fred Chase (check out *his* GEB record) is running. Well, I was looking around for a GA registration form in the office so I could copy it, and having a *terrible* time (I had to open a piece of returned mail for one, but don't worry, I left documentation of what was up)... imagine that! GHQ has no spare registration forms on hand, like anyone might just want one. Well, I don't snoop but I'm a well-known curious kitty, and the Assembly file seemed a good place to look for the form anyway. That's how I found out that Jon Bekken already has seven nominations for GST. And someone with the proclivities for such things, as Robert Rush, doesn't even know who's eligible in his local area... *sigh* It's not the office-movoing thing I worry so much about (is it rubbing off?), but rather, the hands that things like dues records could fall into. You know, the most anally observed bureaucratic rituals can be reduced to shambles by sheer incompetence, and then proclaimed by the mouth connected to those hands to never have been. That's about what happened *last* time Bekken was GST... I'm afraid a rubber stamp is poor innoculation to *that* blues. Well. I must be in story mode today. Pardon my rambling, you know how I get. I stayed up late and woke up early to get that mailing out ASAP, and several coffees later, my head's just a little funny, my mouth (well, fingers) a little loose.

You should have my contact info by then (c/o L&R POB); call me if yer in the city or I'll see ya in th'cruz. I passed this info along to the scgmb online folx too... BTW, ever play with newsfeeds on-line? We just got 'em routed in through where I work. They don't seem to get used by folx like us like we could. Something to think about, as online newsfeeds flow quickly and globally. Anyhow, I'll see ya soon and we can catch up then.

I filled her in on what we have in mind, and that we needed attorney and observer contax. I also told her that though we're not rich, we have money budgeted for such, and that S.C. activists have gotten their feet wet in legal and courtroom self-education. All these things sounded good to her. She's gonna get in touch with someone down there named John Marshall, who's worked in the contexts we're looking for among the progressive-legal community in S.C. on behalf of the UCSC students who got arrested at Soledad on May 11th (date sound familiar?). Oh-- that's when I mentioned FNB to her. Anyway, he's got a good sense for both lawyers and observers in S.C., and issues related thereunto. She's gonna call me back early next week.

Although I wish we were going to be there for the assembly. Emma & I are going to Southern California from the 1-6. Congratulate Emma, she sat on her first picket line today. There is a grocery workers strike on here. So Emma and I went into the store, greeted all the scabs,filled up a cart with Ice cream, lots of loose vegetables,a frozen turkey,hungry man dinners etc. and then left it in the aisle. So fun. Unfortunately none of the strikers I talked to knew what a wobbly was. While I was telling them all about the wobs I felt like a real hypocrite, because I've been in bad standing since January. Well when we get it together to pay up Mark will be paying Minimum dues again, 'cuz he fired Kinko's. Thank God,he got caught getting film developed and not paying. So he's unemployed save for the occasional temp job. But the real beautiful part of our situation is that we no longer pay rent! Yes I've become the asst. manager of this building. I hate that the word manager is in my title,but it's not what it sounds. There's the manager who does all work of maintaining and renting out the building, she's my boss, and all I do is clean the halls, lobby and laundry rooms, and for this I get a free apt. In fact we moved into the building nextdoor, into a bigger apt. Our number is still bathwax, our new address is 409 SW 12 Ave #307 Portland 97205. Please think of us duing the assembly 'cuz we're there in spirit. What is your new job all about? We love you like crazy and Emma says she's yours for the revolution. Mark, Jennifer & Emma (a. k. a.

Oh, wow! is about how it sounded in my head when I got yer communique, Jen!!! Between lotsa work forth'assembly and my inconvenienced sleep pattern, I've been a little mushy at work lately. Thanx for the jolt! Lessee, just a coupla things right off the bat. To subscribe to the iww on-line news conference-type-thing (really just a big mailing list), write to Carlos Murray and ask to be put on it. He's at: indwrk@web.apc.org The mailing list address (to post): iww.news@conf.igc.apc.org I added ya to my own list, too... *:-) Glad to hear y'all are doing so well. I like it here in th'shitty OK, but there are moments I wish I'd taken the northerly plunge. Next spring/summer, though... I might be able to swing a job up there, through the network I work for now. Actually, I work for the southern half, The Little Garden. We provide raw Internet connectivity up to pretty large "bandwidth". Up in Portland it's RainNet. We may end up with something in Seattle by next year too. I work for my old (and anarchist!) friend Tom Jennings. It's going really well, I'm learning stuff, get to dolots of on-the-clock work for the revolution, make more money than I'm used to amking (for example, I eat *every time* I get hungry! Imagine the decadence...) Do you ever do the, er, television thing? Well, I've got a roomie who does, and does so with a VCR, and sometimes I let him get me to watch some thing. Well, he showed me a bunch of something called TV Nation last night, which is an NBC show (how I don't know, but it don't look to last). It's done by Michael Moore, the guy who did Roger and Me. There was a segment on the last, um is it an episode if it's a magazine-type show? anyway-- in which they decided that, like the Who (and, pointedly, the Stones), Communism needed a farewell tour of America. So they painted this semi truck a *vivid* red with a hammer-and-sickle w/star in yellow (USSR style) on all four sides, loaded it up with Glorious Relics and Precious Thoughts, and hired a Teamster to drive it from NYC to New Orleans and back. No, really! Then they showed the footage on prime-time TV. They weren't very picky about what flavors of commie they mixed-- russkie mixed with Mao, the Revolutionary Worker, even a live appearance at the start of the tour by Chairman Gus Hall. It was really a scream! But the best part was them driving it through the deep south, I mean, right through Selma Alabama. No, really! And they had all this glorious Russian singing in the background... it was very special, and it reminded me of y'all... So I'm glad you wrote so soona fterwards, so I could promptly share that with ya! I gotta get back to work, such as it is. Stay FABulous, and in touch, as I shall likewise.
