STREET ARTISTS PROTEST RUSSIAN<br />
INVASION REVISITED<br />
Spring is here and working outside<br />
is more comfortable. In Russia, they<br />
hold a victory parade to celebrate<br />
defeating the Nazies at the end of WWII<br />
while at the same time Putin’s army is<br />
committing the same atrocities that the<br />
Nazies perpetrated on Russia in Ukraine.<br />
insert russian parade<br />
During the past weeks, the muralist<br />
and street artists who oppose the<br />
Russian invasion of Ukraine have been<br />
celebrating spring by working with new<br />
ideas and more direct protests against<br />
the vicious unprovoked war that Putin<br />
has imposed on Ukraine.<br />
resistance of the Ukrainians continues<br />
their resilience is apparent as they repel<br />
the Russian bombings and persistent war<br />
crimes against innocent civilians. This<br />
is dramatically demonstrated visually<br />
in the mural painted on a brick wall<br />
showing hands sewing the Ukrainian flag<br />
together by Ukrainian artist street artist<br />
Sasha Korbin.<br />
Artists continue to promote peace and<br />
illuminate the evil of tyranny.<br />
European artists have been the most<br />
prominent in their work some of which<br />

Queer Serial History Podcast<br />
Profiles<br />
Supervisors Harvey Milk &<br />
Harry Britt<br />
Supervisor Harvey Milk anticipated his assassination.<br />
In his audio will, he left a plan for<br />
us. Now, in never-before-heard<br />
interviews with Milk’s chosen successor Harry<br />
Britt, people everywhere can hear the rest<br />
of the story.<br />
Critically acclaimed podcast Queer Serial:<br />
LGBTQ+ Liberation Before Stonewall is moving<br />
forward, into the 1970s and<br />
beyond, to tell the story of gay liberation<br />
in the wake of Milk’s assassination in a new<br />
“sister series” podcast called<br />
“Give ‘Em Hell, Harry! Keeping Harvey Milk’s<br />
Dream Alive.”<br />
In Queer Serial’s radio drama style, NLG-<br />
JA award-winning producer Devlyn Camp<br />
brings the story to life with news<br />
& gay radio shows from the archives, unheard<br />
interviews between historian Will<br />
Roscoe & Supervisor Harry Britt,<br />
and Harvey Milk’s unedited audio will.<br />
Over 7 weekly episodes beginning <strong>May</strong> 7<br />
and running through Pride month, Will and<br />
Devlyn will take listeners<br />
through the political rise of a person not<br />
many people knew, but trusted because<br />
Harvey did.<br />
How did a former minister from Texas carry<br />
on Harvey Milk’s political plan for radical<br />
gay liberation?<br />
Preview the series here: https://apple.<br />

And listen to the first episode now! https://<br />
apple.co/3waEiP0<br />
Give ‘Em Hell begins in the politically heated<br />
late 1970s during Harvey’s death. Harry<br />
Britt took on the job as the only openly gay<br />
elected official in the country during some<br />
of<br />
the most violent years for American queer<br />
communities. He was a powerful and effective<br />
gay leader, even as his district became the<br />
epicenter of the AIDS crisis, and all while<br />
battling his own inner demons, compulsions,<br />
and confusion about his gender.<br />
Before Harry Britt’s death in 2020, Will Roscoe<br />
recorded 20 hours of interviews with<br />
Britt<br />
about his time in office—and why Milk<br />
chose him. Roscoe himself was present for<br />
this<br />
story. He was an activist, petitioned for<br />
Anne Kronenberg to take Harvey’s seat,<br />
and was<br />
a participant the White Night Riots after the<br />
Dan White verdict in 1979—an event<br />
which will be detailed in episode 3, released<br />
on the 43rd anniversary of<br />
this legendary gay riot on <strong>May</strong> 21, <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

training information once you officially<br />
sign up to volunteer HERE.<br />
We are now less than one month out<br />
from the primary election on June 7th<br />
and ballots have already started arriving<br />
to voters in the mail! But it’s not too<br />
late to take action and do your part to<br />
protect the vote in California by signing<br />
up as an Election Protection volunteer<br />
today.<br />
Here’s what being a poll monitor looks<br />
like:<br />
- You’ll be deployed to voting locations<br />
on Election Day, June 7th, and/or during<br />
the early voting period on June 4th and<br />
June 6th in Los Angeles, Riverside, or San<br />
Diego counties (depending on where<br />
you live).<br />
- For each 3-hour shift you sign up<br />
for, you will be assigned three voting<br />
locations to monitor. You will spend 45-<br />
50 minutes at each voting location and<br />
will complete your poll monitor checklist<br />
that is pre-prepared by Common Cause<br />
staff.<br />
- We provide all the training that you<br />
will need! We are hosting 1.5 - 2 hour<br />
poll monitor trainings on <strong>May</strong> 21st, 24th,<br />
and 26th. You only need to attend<br />
the training once and you will receive<br />
next page 20<br />
As a trained, nonpartisan volunteer, you<br />
will serve as voters’ first line of defense<br />
against confusing voting rules, outdated<br />
infrastructure, rampant misinformation,<br />
and needless obstacles to the ballot<br />
box.<br />
We hope you’ll join us to protect the<br />
vote in Los Angeles, San Diego, and<br />
Riverside counties!<br />

I grew up<br />
in Taunton,<br />
Mass, a<br />
perfect<br />
child having<br />
an idyllic<br />
childhood.<br />
As a boy, my home was like a sports<br />
complex and included a large lawn for<br />
the hosting of sports contests, football,<br />
croquet, and badminton. <strong>The</strong> games<br />
often included the entire neighborhood.<br />
We had a swimming pool and pond<br />
for fishing in the summer and playing<br />
hockey in the winter. My yard faded into<br />
a wood that was a swarth of wilderness<br />
that stretched from Boston to Cape<br />
Cod. <strong>The</strong> actual Tesla was building a<br />
new electric grid but was bought before<br />
he sold it.<br />
I loved history and often correctly<br />
corrected the librarian and sat there<br />
looking like I hoped to catch them<br />
making a mistake. She told me that the<br />
historical society loves endless questions<br />
and I should talk to them. I agreed and<br />
reminded her that words like unnerving<br />
and weird also seemed unnecessary.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se people changed my life. I had<br />
endless conversations on musket balls<br />
and muzzle velocity.<br />
My distant relative Ralph Davol, was a<br />
revolutionary war expert. Long before I<br />
was born, he was a state legislator. He<br />
was also a printer, artist, and sculptor<br />
who wrote one of the most important<br />
books of his time. Named Two men<br />
of Taunton, often called the most<br />
important book of his time.<br />
On occasion, we would visit with him<br />
and play in his carriage house, and<br />
he would show me each carriage. He<br />
would tell me which was owned by a<br />
man who helped write the Declaration<br />
of Independence. <strong>The</strong> smell of leather<br />
was intoxicating.<br />
This is Taunton! We were the first to join<br />
the Rebellion. We sent lawyer Robert<br />
Treat Paine to the First Continental<br />
Congress representing Massachusetts.<br />
In 1774, Taunton’s Sons of Liberty ran<br />
Loyalists out of town. We created and<br />
flew the first flag! <strong>The</strong> entire story is<br />
detailed in his book.<br />
<strong>The</strong> book is a great read about patriots<br />
and natives and battle strategy,<br />
consistent with a legitimate Rebellion. It<br />
is now in the public domain, and I have<br />
a rare signed copy and will reprint some<br />
excerpts that give an intimate look at<br />
the foundation of our nation.<br />
Let us know if you enjoy it and would like<br />
