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

This afternoon I passed out 45 leaflets at the Broadway P.O. and 62 at Harborview, where an Afghan-appearing worker asked for another after reading it.
Not counting a few small stacks left in establishments, and the PAW table at BCC, this gives us 2745 leaflets passed out or posted up so far…and the big numbers are still in front of us.  Onward!

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.

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
