On March 30, 1971, a fist confidential source furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which was picked up at the Upper Westside Womens Center, 627 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York (NY) on March 27, 1971. The literature captioned, "Women's Bail Fund" argued that the Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the power structure here in America to oppress and exploit the people of poor communities." It further relates that "Women have come together in New York from many different organizations to form a Women's Bail Fund for all the sisters inside the House of Deention. The Bail Fund is also working to prepare simple pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal resources in the House of Detention and secure legal assistance where needed." The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund, P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003. on August 26, 1971, the first source furnished literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's Bail Fund is a coalition of Third World and white women who are: " ....raising bail to release women prisoners from Rikers Island, "establishing communication with women inside.

On April 12, 1971, a second confidential source made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. The flyer, captioned, "Victory to the NLF and All Oppressed Peoples" states "Women in Vietnam and in the United States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right to exist.....the U.S. is now dotted with concentration camps for the poor and non-white; the jails.....But imprisonment doesnt! break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist! When denied their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is beaten they organiz and resist. In the coldest part of winter when the boilers had broken down, the women worked in freezing temperatures in cold water to do the laundry-not ‘because the pigs made us do it - but for our ‘own beautiful sisters.' .....We Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are united in our struggle - we share common goals and face a common enemy. We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and shail work to bring the victory there." On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Women's Bail Fund and Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF). The demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release of their "sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison Facility. The demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate the "sisters from their supporters." By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest, This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the prisoners in question, Thereafter, several speakers denounced the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the "nolitical prisoners."in the House of Detention. Among the speakers was Shirley,/Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and a former inmate of thé Women's House of Detention. «fd mete eee amen me IT TS ee, MLMBER OF CUBED!

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, etcetera." The article is introduced by the following statement: "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.

a | a 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. "IT 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 i one-shot deal, ~2- GONFIRENTIAL 1 | NW 35087 Doold: 325989544 Page 20 Li.
— 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 md 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. -~ 3-6 GONP IDENT TIAL MW 55087 Doocld: 32939544 Page 21
Doold: 32969544 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.

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.

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.

It is noted that Weatherman subjects have contacted those involved in the bail fund. However, have decryed the lack of political direction of the WBF and would like to turn it into a defense committee because of a lack of any other direction. There is no indication, that this has occurred, and the bail fund still remains a loose coalition of like-minded individuals freom various groups seelting to rotse Vesuds for various purposes. Because of: its lack of common political dir-° *. ection, it has had no influence and presently is ineffective in the movement.

It was the first oppor- unity for a woman to vote, because I was the first woman to be elected to Congress. I believed then, as I do today, that women are the ones that must be concerned with the needs and develop- ment of the human race. [I have always fought for the dignity of all human beings - for those of the present as well as those of future generations. I will continue to struggle as long as I live. I hope all women will res- pond to the following call and join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening day of Congress. Jeannette Rankin A CALL TO ALL AMERTCAN WOMEN who are outraged by the ruthless slaughter in Vietnam and the persistent neglect of human needs at home TO COME TO WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 8 AMERICAN WOMEN represent 51% of the voting population of our country. AMERICAN WOMEN have the power to a-~ chieve peace and a decent life for every American. This is woman power! Demonstrate it to the Congress of the United States! Come to Washington on January 8 as Congress opens in joint session. Support Jeannette Rankin as she leads a representative delegation of American women to the Capitol to demand that: *Congress, as its first order of business, resolve to end the war in Vietnam and immedi- ately arrange for the with- drawal of all American troops. *Congress use its power to make reparations for the ravaged land we leave behind in Vietnam. “Congress listen to what the American people are saying and refuse the insatiable demands of the military~industrial complex. WOMEN OF AMERICA, our power is un-~ limited. On January 8, American women will: *PETITION the United States Con- gress . . . *CONVENE a Congress of American Women that afternoon to develop programs to meet the crisis in America - programs which will express our political power, reason and conscience, For further information about the Brigade, contact your nearest VSP group or write to the Jeannett@*Rankin Brigade, 133 W. 72 St,, NvY, 3 | 10023. f. le’

According to Source One, the Southern California Couneil of WSP is presently coordinating local activity to form a contingent of ‘the JRB from Southern California.

To give publicity to the proposed activity of the JRB; the local WSP office is circulating a reprint from the "San Francisco Chronicle", issue of Saturday, May 20, 1967, page nine, which contained a feature article regarding the opposition to wars by former Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin, for whom the JRB has been named.

Source One learned that a communication was re- ceived from eastern sponsors of the JRB on December 7, 1967, indicating that the JRB march on Washington might not be held on January 8, 1968, but possibly would be set back until either the 15th or 22nd of January 1963, depending upon the date that the United States.Congress would reconvene. The communication indicated that since the entire purpose . of the Brigade would be to confront the opening joint session of Congress that it would be futile to schedule the march prior to the date Congress would reconvene. The suggestion was made that recruitment of local women to participate in the SRB be held in abeyance until a confirmation had been obtained indicating the date on which Congress would reconvene.

You cannot have wats without vrorién. Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in Mey of this year. Fifty years ago, as the first women elected to Congress, she voted eagsinst World War I. She has consistently maintained het strug— ele for peace, and et’ 86 she is as courageous and vigorous as eveT ~~ an inspiration to: all women. The ptesence of the United States forces in the internal struggle of Vietnam is immoral and illegal.

Not all women ere free to join her, but we can ascure her that thousands of women will march peacefully beside her.
