Today in Labor History March 9, 1902: Actor Will Geer was born. Best known for his role as Grandpa Walton in the long-running series, “The Waltons,” Geer also appeared in the groundbreaking film, “Salt of the Earth,” which portrayed the struggle of Mexican American workers at the Empire Zinc Mine. Because of his activism on labor and political issues, he was blacklisted in Hollywood for many years. In 1934, he became a member of the Communist Party. He also met LGBTQ activist Harry Hay that year and they became lovers. Together, they supported the 1934 San Francisco General Strike and demonstrated against fascism and for workers’ rights. Hay was a co-founder of the Mattachine Society, the first major gay rights group in the United States, and the Radical Faeries, an anarcho-pagan queer spiritual-political movement.

#VillageSchool URGENT NOTICE

As some of you may have noticed, the junction of School Lane and Wickery Hill is blocked at present by a delegation of Persons from the Otherworld. If this is still going on at 3.15, the children will exit the school via the back exit onto Stone Circle Road. Please note that there is very little room for parking and turning.

Please also note that these are *not* the #RadicalFaeries whose stall was such a hit at last week's Pride March.
