A full page ad in the Quicksilver Times was the only expense J. Brinton “Brint” Dillingham recorded during his September 15, 1970 Democratic primary quest for Sheriff of Montgomery County, Md.
Dillingham was a well-known advocate for youth and an antiwar and civil rights activist when he filed for the election.
Dillingham campaigned on freeing all political prisoners, including those incarcerated because of their economic status, and disarming sheriffs’ deputies.
Early in the campaign in November 1969, Dillingham blasted incumbent Sheriff Ralph W. Offutt charging that sheriff’s deputies used undue force in shooting a convicted cattle rustler in the rump when he tried to escape from jail.”
Offutt responded, “if that long-haired s.o.b. wants to make an issue, let him.”
At the time Dillingham had been sentenced to six months in jail for distributing a copy of the Washington Free Press that contained a cartoon of Montgomery County Judge James Pugh sitting at the dais naked while masturbating and playing with instruments of torture.
He was also facing four misdemeanor charges for confrontations with police outside the youth shelter he was running in Bethesda, Md.
Later in the campaign he sought writs of habeus corpus for a dozen people charged with crimes but held in jail because they couldn’t make bail.
Dillingham said he wanted to run for judge, but you had to be a lawyer so he chose sheriff.
When the election was held, Dillingham drew a surprising 10,000 votes to Offutt’s 40,000.
The obscenity charges against Dillingham were ultimately overturned on appeal and he received no jail time for the misdemeanor charges.
A few weeks after the election, Dillingham was arrested again for cursing at a County Council meeting when he was not permitted to speak about the arrest and beatings of Paul and George Pumphrey, two Black Panther sympathizers, in Rockville.
Dillingham continued his activism until his death at age 46 in 1990.

A sculpture made from melted down, seized guns was unveiled yesterday to honour influential peace activist Dr Erinma Bell MBE DL.
Erinma co-founded the Community Alliance for Renewal, Inner South Manchester Area (CARISMA) to offer life chances for young people by giving them positive alternatives to street and gun crime. She was awarded an MBE for voluntary services to the community in 2008 and she has been made a Deputy Lieutenant of Greater Manchester in 2011. She is the subject of the opening chapter of Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s book ‘Britain’s Everyday Heroes’, and recognised as one of the most influential people in Greater Manchester. Erinma is Executive Director of Chrysalis Manchester, a Rotary Peace Fellow and sits on the North West Regional Committee of Crimestoppers, UK.
The bust, made to immortalise the woman who fought to rid Moss Side streets of gun crime,was unveiled by Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd at Manchester Cathedral on International Women’s Day to mark her contribution to Greater Manchester’s communities. It has been produced by Guns to Goods, an arts based initiative converting illegal firearms into sculpture to celebrate inspirational stories and champions of peace. It has been sculpted by Manchester-based artist Karen Lyons.
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: “It is totally appropriate to unveil this sculpture on International Women’s Day. Erinma is an inspiration to local people, showing what can be achieved when communities take a stand and work together with police and other agencies to make our neighbourhoods safer and stronger.
“I’ve seen the devastation gun crime leaves in its wake – it has no place on our streets. Today we celebrate how far we have come in taking firearms off our streets and how, thanks to the people of Moss Side and South Manchester, and people like Erinma, we are building a safer future for our children.
“This is an achievement we should remember, not just today, but every day.”
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “The number of firearm-related incidents remains incredibly low in comparison to its peak in 2007/2008, and the public should be reassured that we are working hard every day to deter and dismantle this selfish and reckless criminal behaviour. We can’t do it alone however, which is why inspiring individuals such as Erinma are so crucial to supporting our communities, reducing gun crime and saving lives.
“The sculpture is symbolic, showing items that were once used in such a destructive way transformed into a representation of those who have fought to safeguard our future, one free from gun crime and violence.
“We will continue to work to make the streets safer. Community vigilance is pivotal in our work and we urge people to come forward and work with police and people like Erinma to help us tackle something that has no place in our towns and cities.”
Karen said: “I wanted to use my sculpture to honour the great work that women do. Erinma is an important example of the diverse and distinct voices of women in the city. We wanted to unveil the sculpture on International Women’s Day 2016 as the theme is ‘Women’s Voices – Changing Manchester’, and is a celebration of the enormous roles that women play. This seems like an incredibly fitting tribute to that theme.”
Guns to Goods received support from Arts Council England to produce the piece, which will be on display at Manchester Cathedral until May. It will then be exhibited at the Peoples’ History Museum and the University of Salford’s MediaCityUK campus later in the year.
The unveiling saw the artist talk about her motives and inspiration, Erinma Bell share her thoughts about her current and future work, Tony Lloyd recognise Erinma’s contribution and Chief Constable Ian Hopkins discuss the importance of celebrating activism within Greater Manchester’s communities.

An activist with a LCD screen and DVD player strapped to his torso, a sign mounted on cardboard, and a variety of pamphlets just below his chin. Pretty good marketing job overall.
School activist and freeway opponent Charles I. Cassell issues a flyer calling on voters to elect him to the District of Columbia school board in November 1969.
Cassell, a close ally of long-time school activist Julius Hobson, initially was ruled defeated by 34 votes when ballots were initially counted.
However, days after the results were announced a batch of uncounted ballots was discovered. This led to a court case over whether to count the ballots.
Ultimately the ballots were tallied and on January 16, 1970, Cassell was ruled to have won the election 12,499 to 12, 497—a whopping margin of two votes.
It was the only election the blunt talking, uncompromising Cassell would ever win.
Charles Cassell was an anti-freeway activist, Vietnam War opponent, school board member and D.C. Statehood Party leader who grew up in a house designed by his father near Howard University in Washington, D.C.
“After graduating from Dunbar High School, he followed his father's wish and entered architecture school at Cornell in 1942. But two years later, he was drafted into the Army. He served his conscription ‘in the most dangerous theater of all: southern USA.’ where he said his race consciousness crystallized.
“’In the '40s, that was not the safest place for a black person to be,’ Cassell said. ‘In the South, a black man could die just for a look. Sometimes I wanted so badly to be overseas where it was safer.’
“After World War II, Charles Cassell finished his training at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and returned to Washington and a rather ordinary life as husband and father, involved in civic associations and working as an architect for the Veterans Administration and the General Services Administration.
“It all changed when he met [Julius] Hobson in 1962 and joined him on the picket lines to speak for the poor and downtrodden.
“’We were constantly--Hobson, Doug Moore, Marion Barry--out there on the front line, testifying, demonstrating against a variety of things that we thought worked to the disadvantage’ of city residents, he said.
“Cassell and many others ‘integrated all sorts of things,’ stopped the freeways that had disrupted black neighborhoods, blocked the building of the Three Sisters bridge, and challenged the FCC license of WMAL-TV, which effectively opened up television newscasts to black reporters and anchors.
“He is a man with intense pride in black culture and history, given to quoting King, Malcolm X and Paul Robeson.
“His ego is ‘the best thing I got going for me . . . and that lack of apology is what white folks can't deal with, or even your black opponents. Why should you apologize for it?’
“He concedes, though, that ‘sometimes my ego is misdirected, sometimes it gets me into trouble, but that's because it's used improperly, not because you shouldn't have it.’”
“In the late '60s and early '70s, Cassell often made headlines by interrupting City Council meetings with his own agenda, urging welfare activists to ‘disrupt’ Council deliberations, and leading school children in antiwar demonstrations.
“He won the school board seat by two votes in a run-off election in 1968, and afterward lost races for congressional delegate in 1972, for reelection to the school board in 1973 and for at-large city councilman in 1976.
“Absalom Jordan Jr., who met Cassell when Cassell cochaired the Black United Front with Stokely Carmichael in 1968, finds him ‘competent, sensitive, and knowledgeable,’ but unelectable because he is ‘an antagonist to the white power structure. People saw what he did on the school board and it scared them.’”
“Julius Hobson Jr. said he likes and admires Cassell for his firmness on issues, but ‘I'm just not sure if he was able to make the kind of personality change and compromises’ necessary to win votes, he said.
“Cassell insists he is ‘not a politician. I never wanted to be mayor. . . . Otherwise I wouldn't have done the things I did that in effect antagonized the kind of support you need to run for political office.’
“He said his election failures are insignificant because he ‘did something more valuable than getting one lonely voice in public office. . . . Each political office I ran for was . . . an opportunity to push the concept of statehood. That's always been my purpose.’
“’I like the fact that I don't have to answer to anybody,’ said Cassell, who claims to be the proud inheritor of Hobson's methods. ‘I can say what I want, when I want. That's a great freedom.’
--Cassell biography is excerpted from a longer 1982 profile by Alice Bonner published in the Washington Post.

Hundreds of young activists joined an inspiring Youth Climate Strike in Santa Rosa, to demand action on climate change.
This North Bay strike was organized by young climate activists Lucy London and Kelley Tillman, along with their peers at the Novato High Earth Club. They gave speeches, sang together, made posters, marched on City Hall and created a beautiful mosaic to honor mother earth.
Over a million students around the world skipped school this Friday to protest government inaction on climate change, with thousands of rallies in 125 countries, making it the largest youth climate action in history.
Their peaceful demonstration in Santa Rosa was very moving: these young people are sweet, smart, articulate, dedicated and they share an amazing creative energy and love for the earth. I want to be like them when I grow up!
Our Green Change team supported their youth action by providing a sound system, a large earth globe, and shooting videos and photos of their uprising. Thanks to our crew members Sarah Acker and Marilyn Price for their invaluable support of this important cause. :)
In coming weeks, I will create a special video story featuring Lucy, Kelley and their friends for Climate Heroes, our new series on the new leaders of the green revolution.
Even though this was a youth-led event, they welcomed the help of adult allies like us. It was a pleasure to join forces with these young leaders to fight for climate action together, across generations!

An activist flips off conservative hecklers at a protest outside the Student Union at California State University, Long Beach, on Oct. 23, 2018. A coalition of liberal students and local activists, including antifa, turned out to protest a presentation by conservative personalities Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA.

Photo-op With Pay Equity Activist Lilly Ledbetter In Advance Of President Obama’s State Of The Union Address
Barbara Gittings (left), an early lesbian rights activist, takes part in a panel discussion before a 50-member audience composed mostly of Catholic clergy November 12, 1970 at Catholic University.
Seated are Gittings, Lilli Vincens, a woman identified only as Misty, and Mo Starr.
Gittings and long-time gay activist Franklin Kameny were the gay “luminaries” invited to the conference on theology and homosexuality.
The five-day conference was interrupted that day by about 35 members of the Gay Liberation Front took who over the auditorium stage at McMahon Hall auditorium.
The protesters began their disruption about 2:00 in the afternoon as conference chair Dr. John R. Cavanagh began reading a treatise on homosexuality as a cause of marital discord.
While his companions hugged, held hands and occasionally kissed, a spokesperson produced a pink sheet and began reading from it.
“As members of the Gay Liberation Front, we deny your right to conduct this seminar.”
“It is precisely such institutions as the Catholic church and psychiatry which have created and perpetuated the immorality, myths and stereotypes of homosexuality which we as homosexuals have internalized and from which we now intend to liberate ourselves.”
“Only we as homosexuals can determine from our own experiences what our identity will be.”
The group then left the stage, paraded their pink flag around the room and regrouped outside where they left in a car caravan.
Dr. Cavanagh said afterward, “This conference isn’t supposed to be a forum to promote homosexuality. Our purpose here is to instruct these people in religious instittuions who don’t know anything about homosexuality. These things don’t prove anything to me but bad manners.”
Kameny, president of the Mattachine Society—an early gay rights group, smiled and told reporters, “I’m the token homosexual of the conference.”
The conference was sponsored by the School of Sacred Theology at Catholic University and the program included topics such as the clinical and psychological aspects of homosexuality, its relationship to theology and homosexuals in marriage.
Gittings and Kemeny were early gay rights advocates establishing groups in the 1950s and picketing the White House, Pentagon and the Civil Service in 1965—the first known organized public protests by gay rights advocates.
Gittings was edtor of The Ladder, an early lesbian magazine in the 1960s and was headed the American Library Association’s Gay Task Force.
Kameny waged a 30 year campaign to overturn D.C.’s sodomy laws and, along with Gittings, was successful in getting the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the list of mental diseases in 1973.
Kameny remarked tongue-in-cheek that December 15, 1973 was the day "we were cured en masse by the psychiatrists..”
He ran for office a number o times and remained an activist the rest of his life.
Kamendy died in 2011. Gittings died in 2007.
The Gay Liberation Front
In D.C. at least two communal collectives existed in the Dupont Circle area. They were multi-racial and initially included members of both sexes, but as time passed the women moved on to form their own groups like the Furies.
Locally the GLF staged the Nov. 28, 1970 demonstration at the Zephyr Bar on upper Wisconsin Avenue after four GLF members were refused service.
Several dozen GLF members and supporters came to the restaurant and staged an impromptu demonstration chanting slogans inside the restaurant. Some minor property damage occurred and twelve GLF demonstrators were arrested, although charges were later dropped.
The GLF also was responsible for the Nov. 1970 disruption of a conference on the “psychiatric treatment of homosexuals” at Catholic University.
The D.C. GLF also played a role in the Panther’s Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention also in Nov. 1970. They wrote an expansive platform proposal on gay and lesbian rights that was adopted by the convention.
Press reports indicated the collectives lingered for some time, but disbanded in the mid 1970s.

Climate activists in Edinburgh sent a message to world politicians who are meeting now in Lima, asking them to agree a deal to prevent catastrophic climate change.
They took to the streets on Saturday to collect signatures supporting the Edinburgh Climate Action Pledge which also calls on the City of Edinburgh Council to take urgent steps to cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Matthew Crighton of Friends of the Earth Edinburgh commented
“To look after our planet and ourselves we have to stop burning fossil fuels – coal, natural gas and oil – and switch to renewables. It’s practical and can improve people’s lives at the same time. Transforming our energy system will create jobs, cut pollution and tackle dangerous climate change.
“Let’s take vigorous action now, rather than face the consequences of climate change- devastation to farming around the world, rising food prices and rising hunger, mass migrations and unrest, flooding of coastal areas; and disaster for the natural world.
“So we want a global agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions; and we also want action in Scotland to meet our emissions targets. We support Edinburgh Council’s target to reduce the city’s carbon emissions by 42% by 2020. We want to see action taken now to achieve and then exceed that target”.
We had a fairly succesful demo today outside the Shops at La Cantera. It was a moderately trafficked road to the main entrance to the mall. WE were approached by security and later the police to leave, but were able to stall long enough to last the entire hour. WOAI Clear Channel radio sent a reporter who interviewed Alexia and Univision sent a videographer who interviewed Maria in Spanish.
Climate activists with Stop the Money Pipeline held a rally in midtown Manhattan on April 17, 2021 first at BlackRock’s HQ and then march to JP Morgan Chase’s HQ, -two of the world’s biggest funders of climate destruction in their opinion- to urge the two companies to end their support for the dangerous proposed Line 3 pipeline project, and stop funding fossil fuels and forest destruction.

The mask is from the 2006 film V for Vendetta where one is worn by an enigmatic lone anarchist who, in the graphic novel on which it is based, uses Guy Fawkes as a role model in his quest to end the rule of a fictional fascist party in the UK.
Apologies to Christian for cutting the hands off, had to do this one really quickly. Will really try harder next time.

Protest for NITHARI victims - 29-12-2008
LET US MEET AT Delhi PHQ ON 29-12-2008 time 11:00 TO LIGHT CANDLES FOR THE VICTIMS OF NITHARI.& Delhi missing children who waiting F.I.R For justice last 17 month
The year 2006 ended with the shocking revelations of "NITHARI'S GRUESOME KILLINGS" – appropriately being labeled as 'India's shame' - the blot that may never be easy to erase from our history.
The Nithari murders have shocked the world and generated unparalleled anger among the citizenry. What is making us ashamed and angry is that for two years the media kept on bringing out stories of missing children of the deprived and marginalized people and we failed to raise our voice - and if we did it was not 'loud enough' to save the lives of many innocent poor children. In any case, we should have never left it to our netas, babus and police, who slept over it.
We must no longer watch from the sidelines silently. Along with the media the citizens of this country have a moral responsibility to launch a sustained campaign for accountability.
Let us all meet at PHQ on Monday, 29-12-2008 at 11:00 p.m. to launch a sustained 'campaign for accountability of the authorities' and express our solidarity with the bereaved families of DELHI We want to seek information and explanation for the callousness of the authorities who are there to protect the citizens, especially innocent children and who failed in their duty for two long years.
The time has come to fight for upholding our constitutional rights in letter and spirit.

Jim Zais (center, hand raised) leads a meeting of the Washington, D.C. Gay Activist Alliance at the First Congregational Church at 945 G Street NW September 28, 1977.
Longtime gay activist Franklin Kameny sits to his immediate left.
The photo was taken as part of the research into a four-part series on gay life in the District that the Washington Star began running October 30, 1977.
The Star article by Donia Mills called Washington “the gay capital of the nation” despite the larger gay populations of New York and San Francisco.
The article was written in the wake of the deaths of eight men in a fire at Cinema Follies—a gay cinema and bathhouse--and before AIDs was identified as a killer disease.
The Cinema Follies fire caused straight people to focus not only on the tragedy itself, but to understand that the victims looked much like themselves—one was a visiting church official from Illinois, while many others were married with children, including one man who was the top aide to a congressman.
The article identified the groundbreaking 1972 D.C. school board resolution permitting the hiring of LGBT teachers and the 1973 city council legislation forbidding discrimination against gay people and 14 other identity categories (including physical appearance, physical disability and family responsivities) in areas such as housing, public accommodations and employment.
After an 18-year fight, the Civil Service Commission reversed its policy of using homosexuality as grounds for dismissal from a federal government job under Civil Service rules.
The article also identified the widespread social scene that included arts, music, gay dances and other gay-oriented or accepting venues.
Kameny told the Star, “This sort of thing (a gay dance) was just not possible when I first came to Washington. A gay dance would have been an unheard of revolution. People lived in such fear of discovery.”
However, the clouds were beginning to gather as Anita Bryant’s “save our children” crusade successfully reversed gay rights legislation in Miami—spurring the District’s gay population to rally against the homophobes.
The U.S. Supreme Court had also just refused to hear the case of a gay teacher fired in New Jersey and gay marriage was considered a pipe dream at that time.
And no one foresaw the AIDS crisis that was explode four years later.

Dozens of activists unfurled anti-Trump banners inside Trump Tower in New York City on April 13, 207; to show support for refugees, immigrants, and their families across the country, and to protest the administration’s immigration policies. The action was followed by a sit in at the atriun in front of the elevators resulting on the arrest of 27 people.
