[Oct. 17 Seattle] Report, one mass-work thread

Edward and I met and leafletted at Virginia Mason, 9th between Spring and Seneca, from 3:00 to 4:30. I passed out 38, and Edward estimated that he did 40.  The period from 3:30 to 4 seems to be a shift change there, and the foot traffic is pretty good.  We both got a few more hostile comments than we usually get on Broadway, for example, but we had more engagement of all kinds. 
I was approached by by one security guard early on, but his heart didn't seem to be in it, and he let me be after a minute or so.  Then, later, he and another guard approached first Edward and then me.  The second guard tried to hassle me enough that I would leave.  She said that they had "gotten complaints", and that I couldn't be "obstructing" the entrance I was near.  They finally left, after I asserted that I was on a public sidewalk, and that nothing I was doing was obstructing anything.
We're meeting tomorrow at the same time at Harborview, for anyone who can join.

5 to 5:30 on Broadway, 18 leaflets.  One man said about the war "it's never going to end, it's all about the dollar, and the little folks never get any".  Two people came back to get one after initially refusing it, once the topic sank in, and several indicated support, thanks, etc.

I went to the Health Care for All rally today downtown, and handed out
about 42 leaflets.  I met Meghan Cornish from RW/FSP there and also Dan
from SA, and asked  both of them if their organizations were going to
participate in October 17, and they said they believed so.  I asked
them to raise the question of an endorsement, and they said that they
would.   Both of them were friendly.  I also saw that MoveOn.org, which
was one of the co-sponsors of this rally, had a small PA system that
they said they bought from Best Buy for around $100.  It looked like a
step above a bullhorn, portable and rechargeable/battery powered.  If
we cannot get  larger system by renting it, it might be a good idea to
buy one.   The rally was about evenly divided between supporters of a
public option such as Medicare for all, and supporters of single payer.

  Saturday:
Helen, Edward and I went out postering and leafletting.  Helen passed
out 20 leaflets, while E and I put up the half-sheets as posters in the
ID, and on Jackson, Boren and Yessler, around the projects.  We failed
to count the half sheets that we put up, but it was a good number of
them, probably 60 to 75.

Phil, Alex and me handed out 143 leaflets on northern Broadway. Lots of
positive responses. 

We also had signs with a slogan against the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan on one side, and the demonstration information on the
other. Many people looked at these, and I think that this helped raise
interest in the leaflet.

  Total as of Saturday afternoon: 2413. (This
does not count the small stacks of flyers that comrades have left in a
few establishments.)

Yesterday, 3:30 to 5:00, I distributed 44 leaflets, mainly at 23rd and
Jackson, and 5th and Jackson.  I had two conversations, one with an
East African man who wavered between agreeing with me that the US was
not in Afghanistan for humanitarian reasons, and being reluctant to
support US withdrawal, because he "wished" that nations would act in
humanitarian ways, and because he thought that the terrorists would
regroup and attack if the US left.  The other was with an Black
American Shi'ite Muslim, who was arguing that, unlike any of the other
major religions, Islam really was about liberation and
self-determination.

  

  I also stopped at the coffee shop which a few weeks ago happily
took 20 - 30 half-sheets to put on their very small counter.  They were
again happy to take more half-sheets, so I left 40 this time.  They put
them on the counter right where customers stand to pay.

  

  Today, Phil and I leafletted the Israeli war resisters talk at
the AFSC.  The traffic flow in to the event was slow, too slow for two
to leaflet, so Phil went in to the event. I passed out 72 leaflets
there.  N. L. was friendly, and took one.  A few others who I last saw
during the O27 organizing coalition a few years ago took one.  The
older woman, S., took one with a quizzical but not unfriendly
expression. 
  

  I couldn't stay for the event, but Phil did.

So with Alex and my totals, we passed out 108. Alex said that he had 4
or 5 hostile comments mixed in with the “thank yous,“ and people coming
out of their way to get leaflets, etc. And although I don’t remember
anyone making hostile comments to me, I do remember perhaps half a
dozen people saying they supported the war. We both think that this
probably had to do with this being the day after all of the 9/11
propaganda, plus there being a lot of Cougar football fans in the area.

Frank and Alex and I were leafleting downtown at Westlake, after Frank

  

left at 1:30 I went to lunch and came back and leafleted some more,

  

finishing the day with a total of 26 leaflets passed out by 2:30.

Both are good locations at quitting time, and I passed out 36 leaflets

    

even though I was only able to be at them for a few minutes. Also ran

    

into I., who’s loosely around WWP. She now knows what’s up if she

    

didn’t before.

    

    

  

    

TOMORROW a few of us will be meeting at Westlake at NOON w/

    

leaflets, signs and a table. Please join us as we become fish in the

    

sea, patiently doing our work.

I went to the King County Labor Council Labor Day picnic at Lower

    

    

  

    

    

Woodland and passed out about 24 leaflets, some to Boeing friends of

    

    

  

    

    

mine.   I got into several very interesting conversations about events

    

    

  

    

    

at Boeing - the 787 project is way behind schedule, largely due to the

    

    

  

    

    

business model of outsourcing everything to suppliers who don't have

    

    

  

    

    

the experience or staffing to do things right.  Makes you afraid to

    

    

  

    

    

fly.  And Boeing has been trying to play hardball with SPEEA units, and

    

    

  

    

    

the SPEEA units are beginning to fight back.  It was good to see my

    

    

  

    

    

friends.   I got an information leaflet about an action by the UNITE

    

    

  

    

    

HERE union to promote organizing hotel workers starting September 13,

    

    

  

    

    

in the morning.  It should be interesting to leaflet that event.

During the day Phil and I passed out about 250 leaflets. Anton

      

      

    

      

      

took over for “second shift” around 5:00, and he was already doing very

      

      

    

      

      

well when I left. Numerous favorable comments; and I think that four

      

      

    

      

      

people told me that they were for sure going to be at the demonstration

      

      

    

      

      

. Too many discussions with people to recount. Even had discussions

      

      

    

      

      

with a couple of pro-war people whose general line was that “if we

      

      

    

      

      

don’t fight them over there we’ll have to fight them over here.” 

      

      

    

      

      

    

      

      

  

      

      

    

      

      

    

      

Palestine Solidarity Network set up at the same place as we, and

      

      

    

      

      

they had mobilized more than their usual number. So this gave us a

      

      

    

      

      

chance to again encourage them to get behind October 17, plus give

      

      

    

      

      

leaflets to those who’d not previously gotten it---all of whom were
