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.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
