excerpted from NYC People's Life Fund end-of-year letter:


                    N.Y.C. PEOPLE'S LIFE FUND
                       339 Lafayette Street
                        New York, NY 10012


During the past twelve months, PLF awarded grants totalling
$18,750 -- the largest amount in our history! In addition to our
grants and loans to community organizations that have impact on
areas such as health, the environment, hunger relief and the arts,
our fund has broken new ground in its support for new groups like
the Network of Black Organizers.

War tax resistance received an unprecedented degree of national
media attention [and] organizing support because of the struggle
of Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner.

And locally, war tax resistance continued to build momentum and
popular support through the work of the Alternative Revenue
Service (ARS) program, which in its second year redirected
$8,366.57 in resisted war taxes to alternative funds throughout
the United States, including $1,693.75 designated for the New York
City People's Life Fund.

This demonstrated the level of discontent with a system that
channels 54% of our tax dollars in Fiscal Year 1992 for military
spending, despite the "end" of the cold war.

SUPPORT THE NATIONAL WAR TAX RESISTANCE COORDINATING COMMITTEE!
NWTRCC is the cement for numerous war tax resistance communities
throughout the country, and they provide critical information and
support to alternative funds like PLF.  We're making a special
request that you designate a part of your PLF contribution to
further support the work of NWTRCC.

We're also asking you to contribute to our War Tax Resistance
Expense Fund, which enables us to mail information and perform the
administrative work of PLF.

INCREASING PLF SUPPORT: In addition to dispositing war tax money
or making contributions, we encourage you to use the People's Life
Fund as a socially responsible bank. In other words, lend us an
amount for a designated period, and let us keep the interest. By
doing this, you'll be helping us to increase our assets in another
important way. ...

It's imperative that you come out to support PLF. By doing so, you
also support and strengthen the numerous community groups in our
network. If you'd like to attend regular meetings at which we
discuss loan and grant applications, or if you're interested in
serving on the Board of the People's Life Fund, call Sallie Marx
at 212-929-4833 or Margarett Jolly at 718-981-5581.

Toward peace and social justice,

Margarett Jolly
