OAKTOWN KNOWS HOW TO PARTAY!!!

I don't have a specific contact I can recommend to you for anarchist employment. I grew up in San Francisco, where it's common knowledge that there are professional anarchists living off various grants, and non-profit covers or scamming landlords through rent control laws to stickit to the maaaan. You'd go over to their homes and the backyards would be filled with various signs for various causes. You'd hear stories about kids with year round jobs organizing the major actions against the WTO etc. or taking part in some form of grassroot political action for a living. If you're ever in SF and have a chance to watch the city supervisors open sessions on live TV you would see what I meant.... lines and lines of "activists" and "concerned citizens" introducing themselves and the makeshift organizations they represented... most of which you get the feeling they are the sole members of....this is their declared occupation. You meet people at parties and they introduce themselves as "political activists". You'd go to teacher parent night at school and find out your friends dad was running some freaky socialist newspaper out of his basement for a living. They had to rip up the panhandle in Golden Gate park because it was becoming over populated with people sleeping there, and living off the soup at Food Not Bombs. The civic center outside of City Hall was a tent city of politicaly active homeless people that refused to move. I'm talking high end camping gear tents. So yeah, there are pro-anarchists.
