Nw [ee eee eee & CONFIDENTIAL a UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION New York, New York In Reply, Please Refer to August 28, 1972 File No. Women’s Bail Fund A first confidential source advised that Beverly! Stamnes, Channel 13 News, 304 West .8th.street.,_New. York, New York is affiliated with the Women's Bail Fund (WBF). An article appeared in the March, 1972 issue of the "Liberated Guardian" » captioned "Women's Bail Fund; ~ Organizing Our Anger", written by five unidentified members of the Women's Bail Fund Collective. The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women out of jail (150 so far). They have been organized for over a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20, 1970. They have been active in supporting other groups involved in the prison struggle. They do legal follow-up for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who the real enemies are, etcetmra. The article is introduced by the following statements "For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves. So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these reflections in this article, using the words from their raps." The article, being reflections of the various members of the group, is a series of quotes by unidentified members concerning the WBF.

an Women's Bail Fund The following are reflections of some WBF members carried under the subcaption "Our Roots - Why We Started - Why We Joined", "There was a woman in my consciousness-raising group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting started and she talked with others about it. To some of us it was a very exciting idea. To others it was frightening - connecting to political activity as women. Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness to any sort of feminist political action or not. "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 inalot 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 to, we go to court with them. When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my head. I make judgements like this jude is better than another one, but it's all shit. All judges are pigs. Or like feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all. "I was in the House 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 sing 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 one+shot deal, | -~2- CONFIDENT TAL ? MW 55030 Doocld: 32809546 Page 426
eo Women's Bail Fund The following are reflections carried junder the sub-caption “Questions We Are Facing Right Now'!. "There's a real dialectic between reform ad 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 them, they are felt to be reformist. I have done a whole lot 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 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, trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that original sense of service to the people, trying to help 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 jail. 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 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 Communists 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. MW 35030 Docld: 329599546 Page 427
a Women's Bail Fund + "I've been real impressed with what women in the group are willing to commit themselves to do and that they fulfill those commitments. 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 go through. You really have a sense that everyone really wants to work things through, search for solutions, 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 busy, that they feel they want to explain why they have to stop doing work for a while, shows people's commitment and responsibility." _The “Liberated Guardian" was created in April, 1970, through active and violent dissent against the politics and policies of the "Guardian", Its major aims were to produce a “more revolutionary" paper, to operate collectively within it and to maintain by design a loose political position. The “Guardian” is self-described as an “independent radical newsweekly" which takes a strong left position but is not identified with any organized group. It is considered to be the largest radical weekly in America. A second confidential source advised an account for the WBF was opened on July 6, 1971, for $3,500. The account was closed ten days later on July 16, 1971. This account was opened by PatriciayReiner of 2451 Aldrich — Avenue South, Minneapolis. Reiner, on August 30, 1971, submitted a forwarding address of 855 South Gedar Lane, Valparaiso, Indiana, 46383. —_ A third confidential source advised the WBF’ set aside money for ConstanceATrimble at the First National Bank, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The source advised two accounts were opened for the WBF on behalf’ of Trimble. One account was a savings account in the amount of $2,000; the other was ia checking account in the amount of $2,800. ‘The trustees for these accounts were listed as Neil Bex Dietrich | or Catherine’Collins . foo CONFIDENTIAL NW 35050 Doold: 32989546 Page 426
wy Women's Bail Fund Constance Trimble was tried and found not guilty on a charge of first degree murder for making a telephone call which lured a St. Paul, Minnesota : police officer to an ambush slaying | which occurred in 1970. On April 5, 1972, and April 8, 1972, a fourth confidential source advised Jennifer Dohrn and Judith Clark were in contact with various members of the WBF on these two days. Judith Ann Clark is a member of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - Weatherman faction and was underground in 1970 prior to her arrest on December 17, 1970 by Special Agents (SAS) of the FBI New York City, as a result of an outstanding arrest wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution - mob action. Clark was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury at Chicago, Illinois in April, 1970, prior to her arrest. She was sentenced to three years, for which she spent nine months in the Cook County Jail, Chicago, Illinois, and was released in July, 1971, to serve the remaining time on probation in New York City. Jennifer Ellen Dohrn is the sister of FBI Top Ten Fugitive Bernadine Rae Dohrn. Both sisters are alleged members of the SDS - Weatherman faction. SDS was founded during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1960's functioned as the leading New Left campus- based student organization in the United States, From a stance of "participatory democracy," the SDS moved to a radical- revolutionary position. It maintained a national office at 1608 West Madison Street, | . -5- —CONETDENTYAL . ? HW 55090 Doocld:32989546 Page 429

Internal factionalism during 1969 produced three main factions: Weatherman, Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM), and Worker Student ‘ Alliance (WSA). The Weatherman and RYM no longer consider themselves associated with the SDS. The WSA faction continues to use the name SDS. On April 14, 1972, a fifth confidential source advised that Judith Clark was in touch on April 3, 1972, with a Beth Last Name Unknown (LNU), at 466 East 48th Street, Brooklyn, New York, concerning the WBF. The source advised that Clark, on November 5, 1972, was in touch with an unknown female and discussed the Wednesday night meeting of the WBF. Clark discussed the fact that Jeannie LNU, Estelle LNU and Laurie LNU would be at the meeting at 5:30 PM, that evening at Clark's residence. The source related that Sara LNU and Naomi LNU, both from the Defense Bail Fund, were also expected at the meeting. Clark discussed the fact that the WBF has no common politics and no common political direction at this point and the WBF could become a defense committee, not because it would be desireable, but because of a lack of any other direction. The source\advised that.on the same day, Clark was in touch with AmyALobenstine from the WBF at telephone number 663-1136, an th agreed to attend an education meeting of the Fund. en The fifth confidential source further related that Clark was in contact, on April 8, 19%2, witha | » Marilyn Dalismer, 254-4498, and a ShelleyALawrence, [-—-"" 663-1136. Both were identified by the sourte as being associated with the WBF.
