Agree. And if we accept that we need men's 'help,' we buy the idea
that there is something intrinsically inferior or incomplete about
women. As women, we then continue the oppression from within. As
long as the internalized oppressor is at work in individual women we
cannot recognize or take hold of equality no matter how much things
change on the outside.
In terms of the environment, how can I tell when I am patronizing and
arrogant in my environmental "help" and how does that arrogance keep
me from getting into an equal relationship with the environment/earth?
How are blockades (on logging roads, native land claim sites, union
operated businesses, abortion clinics, et al) any different than the power
tactics used in any dominator system? Everyone thinks their cause is "right".
What place does civil disobedience play in environmental work?
I'm a person with more questions than answers. I believe dominator
societies are deeply systemic and it is only in asking questions in a
public forum that I gain the insight to try another way. It is the
only way I see my own "dis-eased" thinking. L.

Thanks for at least trying to get back to the issue of the
environment. I was beginning to despair of thislist.

*******************************************************************
FREEDOM FOR NORMA JEAN CROY
Norma Jean Croy, an American Indian, is serving a life sentence for a
crime which she is not guilty of committing.
Chronological Outline:
July 1978, Yreka (Siskiyou County)
Norma Jean Croy and her brother, Patrick Hooty Croy and three other
relatives stopped at a convenience store before going hunting near their
grandmother's cabin outside of town. Following an altercation started by
the store clerk, Yreka police chased their car as they headed out of
town. When the car stopped at the cabin and as Norma and her companions
ran away, police opened fire, hitting Norma in the back. Norma's cousin
Darrell was also shot as he stood up to surrender. Norma's brother Hooty
was shot in the back twice before he turned and fired one shot from the
..22 hunting rifle, which struck an officer in the heart.
1979 (Placer County)
Norma and her four companions were charged with first degree murder of
the police officer and related offenses. Their case was transferred to
Placer County for trial because of the the pretrial publicity. Norma and
her brother Hooty were convicted on all counts although there was no
evidence that Norma fired any weapon. Hooty was sentenced to death; Norma
to life in prison.
1985 Reversal (California Supreme Court)
Hooty's conviction was reversed by the California Supreme Court. Norma's
appeal was denied by a lower appellate court.
1990 Hooty's Retrial (San Francisco)
Following change of venue to San Francisco, Hooty Croy was acquitted of
murder on grounds of self-defense. Trial judge states; "...had Norma Jean
Croy been tried in the case I heard, she would have been found not guilty."
1992 Norma's Fifth Parole Hearing
Norma is denied parole for the fifth time. Parole board refuses to hear
evidence of her innocence that had been presented at Hooty's retrial.
HELP NORMA JEAN GET OUT OF PRISON
The injustice Norma has received was confirmed when her brother was
released from prison, after it was proven that he fired in self defense.
She can never receive true justice because she can never be given back
the time she has wrongly served. But she can now receive a new trial and
be released from prison.
