Two 8.5x11 inch handbills printed both sides, folded for mailing, about the raids on October 12th in Chicago, immediately following the "Days of Rage" protests. The first is in the form of a letter from Dohrn and Klonsky; the second (with some corner wear and a small stain) includes advice on security procedures. The letter begins, "Brothers and Sisters, By now you have probably heard at least some of the details of the attack made on the SDS National Office May 12, the Mitchell raids, and the again escalated assaults on the black liberation struggle. The attack on the NO by police and firemen with axes and the arrest of five brothers on frame up charges alone meant raising bail of over $12,000. To understand the significance of this attack, we must see it in the context of a massive assault on the entire movement, especially the black and brown struggle for self-determination." The other handbill, headlined "Urgent RAIDS Urgent,"begins "The National Office of SDS was raided early Monday morning, May 12, by Chicago pigs and firemen who broke through the front door brutally attacked staff people and SDS members. Five brothers were dragged off to jail as they tried to protect the National Office from destruction." It goes on to warn that "Pigface Mitchell and the Justice Department gang are planning to begin a nationwide series of raids and arrests of as many as 500 people at over 50 cities and campuses within the next 10 days. The Man is moving to spread terror and to isolate the movement from the people, using the lie that 'disorders' are the work of a handful of militants rather than the consequences of decaying imperialism and the inability of the state to meet the just needs of the people. "SDS has been informed by sources within the administration that Attorney General Mitchell has the backing of Congress to institute a series of arrests directed at local leadership on phony charges ranging from sedition to narcotics. The average sentences they are shooting for will range around two years, with the minimum goal of six months-the immediate objective being the removal of these activists from schools and cities through the summer and especially through the fall. These arrests will be carried out by local law enforcement agencies; the charges will be city and state charges. in the main, but the orchestration comes from Washington.".…
