Coalitions With Non-WUO Members
Throughout the underground years, the Weather Underground members worked closely with their counterparts in other organizations, including Jane Alpert], to bring attention their further actions to the press. She helped Weatherman pursue their main goal of overthrowing the U.S. government through her writings. However, there were tensions within the organization, brought about by her famous manifesto, "Mother Right" that specifically called on the Weatherwomen to focus on their own cause other than anti-imperialism. Weather members then wrote in response to her manifesto.
Susan Stern, a member of Weatherman and Seattle Liberation Front, links the two political activist organizations together. While the groups share many of the same political points of view, they had different opinions when it came to personal relationships and the use of violence in protesting.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“The members of a body-politic call it “the state” when it is passive, “the sovereign” when it is active, and a “power” when they compare it with others of its kind. Collectively they use the title “people,” and they refer to one another individually as “citizens” when speaking of their participation in the authority of the sovereign, and as “subjects” when speaking of their subordination to the laws of the state.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
