Ultimately it ended in a of my small group on whether we should carry our raised consciousness to any sort of feminist politecay action or not 6 In the past, I was politically frustrated because I was only involved in one-shot actions I saw what was happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress black People and that resulted ina lot of for me I felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle_ I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware of that need_ sisters want uS we go to court with then. When I to court I find that it can do bad things to my head _ g'make judgements like this is better than another one but it' s all shit_ All judges are pigs_ Or like feeiing good that a sister got six months instead of five years when she shouldn t have gotten anything at all. 11 I was in the Hous e of Detention when there was the bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970_ The whole tier was So excited_ When someone saw the first people she let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows , As the chanting increased outside we started to and chant_ They locked uS in our cells So each person would be isolated and intimidated about chanting_ But all the women kept it up - Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration was different than other demonstrations There had been more contact_ The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman that had known inside outside in the demonstration. That was real important _ "A lot of it was the bail fund . The bail fund banner with the address made it real that people were serious about supporting people inside It wasn t going to be a one-shot deal 2 3 CONFIDENTIAL NW 88321 Docld:32989544 Page 20 Why Why split pain "When to, jude sing_ they ================================================== Page 21 ================================================== CONF IDENTIAL Women S Bail Fund The_following are reflections carried under.the sub-caption "Questions We Are_Facing Right Now" "There S a real dialectic between reform &d revolution. So much of what we do is short-term support stuff that can be seen as reformist_ When raise these demands it s understood to be IevoaulPouscuets when people_ on the outside raise are felt to be reformist_ I have done a whole of courtroom work, both in the bail fund and before too In fact, the whole social work thing is what I come out of, which is why it is So hard for me to deal with all this cause I obviously reflect a lot of that work)_ Social work when it started back in the late 1800 S and early 1900 S came out of real radical circles the radicals and feminists and such. And when you read he talks about service to the as a revolutionary thing_ But for uS it feels weird because it has been co-Opted. I think that the movement Soleinayige now to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that Sense of service to the people, trying to help people survive "One of the ways to really ourselves out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in more political education among ourselves and to ask other groups how they ve dealt with this question. Also we should be more involved in educating other people "We should be more for women inside _ We need to really work on facilitating comunications between the sisters inside the jaii_ Women prisoners have been slower to get organized but I m sure this is because there is SO much isolation in the women S jail Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what is going send literature_ 9 but also tell the women . about each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling. This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the sense of solidarity. "I think much of the movenent is guilty of ultra-leftism_ In China the Comunists worked on a lot of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately wanted_ We re too afraid of being contaminated by being involved in reform movements_ We too often define our enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly. 3 G CONF IDENTIAL NW 88321 Docld:32989544 Page 21 they theniot SAo , peopLe keep doing 0n, ================================================== Page 22 ================================================== CONF IDENTIAL Women' s Bail Fund "I' ve been real impressed with what women in the group are willing to comit themselves to do and that fulfill those comitments _ And that atmosphere of res- ponsibility affects new members too This is real important_ It helps me through the rough times and all the ideological hassles and struggles we g0 through _ You really have a sense that everyone reaily wants to work things through, search for solutions 3 wants to hold together because we feel responsible for the work_ Even the way people ask for leaves of absence when they are sick or too that they feel want to expiain they have to doing work for a while, shows people S comitment and responsibility.

Ultimately it ended in a of my small group on whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness to any sort of feminist political action or not . "i In the past, I was politically frustrated because I was involved in one-shot actions I saw what was happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress black people and that resulted in a lot of pain for me I felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle_ I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware of that need_ "When sisters want us we go to court with then_ When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my head _ I make judgements like this is better than another one but it S all shit_ All judges are pigs_ Or like feeiing that a sister got six months instead of five years when she shouldn t have gotten anything at all_ " I was in the Hous e of Detention when there was the bail fund demonstration on December 20 , 1970_ The whole tier was so excited_ When someone saw the first people she let out a screan and everyone rushed to the windows As the chanting increased outside we started to and chant They locked uS in our cells SO each person would be isolated and intimidated about chanting- But all the women kept it up = Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration was different than other demonstrations There had been more contact _ The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman that they had known inside outside in the demonstration. That was real important _ A lot of it was the bail fund _ The bail fund banner with the address made it real that people were serious about supporting people inside_ It wasn t going to be a onez shot deal _ 2 CONF IDENTIAL NW 88321 Docld:32989546 426 "Our Why split only to, jude good sing_ Page ================================================== Page 1803 ================================================== CONF IDENTIAL Women S Bail Fund The_following are reflections carried under the sub-caption "Questions We Are_Facing Right Now" "There S a real dialectic between reform &d revolution_ So much of what we do is short-term support stuff that can be seen as reformist_ When prisoners raise these demands it s understood to be revolutionary; when people on the outside raise are felt to be reformist. I have done a whole of courtroom work, both in the bail fund and before too In fact, the whole social work thing is what I come out of, which is it is SO hard for me to deal with all this ('cause I obviously reflect a lot of that work) Social work when it started back in the late 1800 S and early 1900' s came out of real radical circles the radicals and feminists and such And when you read MAo , he talks about service to the people as a revolutionary thing But for uS it feels weird because it has been co-opted. I think that the movement now , to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that sense of service to the people, trying to people survive. "One of the ways to really keep ourselves out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in more political education among ourselves and to ask other groups how they ve dealt with this question. Also we Should be more involved in educating other people "We should be doing more for women inside We need to really work on facilitating communications between the sisters inside the jaii_ Women prisoners have been slower to organized but I'm sure this is because there is so much isolation in the women S jail: Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what is going on, send literature, but also tell the women about each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling. This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the sense Of solidarity_ I think much of the movement is guilty of ultra-leftism. In China the Comunists worked on a lot of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately wanted. We re too afraid of being contaminated by being involved in reform movements We too often define our enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly. 3 8 CONF IDENTIAL NW 88321 Docld:32989546 Page 427 theniot they why ooigihaise help get ================================================== Page 1804 ================================================== CONFIDENTIAL Women Bail Fund "I've been real impressed with what women in the group_ are willing to comit themselves to do and that fulfill those commitments_ And that atmosphere of res- ponsibility affects new members too This is real important .
