>As the chaos and danger immediately surrounding their harassment, arrests
>and legal struggles are beginning to subside for demonstrators in
>Philadelphia and Los Angeles this summer, the broader impact of the
>authorities' actions may be taking its toll on the activists who were
>targeted there. With that in mind, the Rosenberg Fund for Children (RFC),
>invites grant applications from any qualifying activist, or on behalf of the
>children of any qualifying activist, who was improperly targeted (harassed,
>arrested, injured, tortured, fined, fired, suspended from school, etc.) in
>Los Angles, Philadelphia, or elsewhere. (A qualifying activist would be
>someone who was targeted because of his/her actions in support of
>progressive causes, and either a) has children under the age of 25, or b) is
>under the age of 25 himself/herself.) Based on reports of the improper and
>sometimes outrageous activities of the police, courts, and other authorities
>in Philadelphia and Los Angeles during this summer's conventions, we believe
>there were many protesters at those events who would fall within our
>guidelines.
>We are able to award up to $3000/year, on an ongoing basis, for qualified
>beneficiaries. Our grant application deadline for this fall is October
>20th,, and the application process is quite simple. Our grants may be used
>for such things as textbooks, tuition, lessons, therapy, certain types of
>travel, and more. Please circulate the following information about us to
>anyone you know who might qualify for our support, and urge them to apply
>for an RFC grant this fall:
> The Rosenberg Fund for Children (RFC) is a public foundation
>that provides for the educational and emotional needs of children in this
>country whose parents have suffered because of their progressive activities.
>The RFC also provides grants for the educational and emotional needs of
>targeted activist youth (under age 25). Institutions and professionals are
>awarded grants to provide services (e.g. school tuition, college books,
>music lessons, summer camp, therapy, day care, travel to visit an
>incarcerated relative, etc.) at no or reduced cost.
> RFC beneficiaries include the children of: Mumia Abu-Jamal,
>a political prisoner currently on death row in Pennsylvania; Judi Bari, the
>well-known environmental activist; and Mary Pitawanakwat, an indigenous
>woman who fought against racial and sexual harassment in her workplace, and
>hundreds of other young activists and children of activists. (The RFC
>protects the anonymity of its beneficiaries, and mentions these individuals
>only with their consent.)
> The RFC was founded in 1990 by Robert Meeropol, the younger
>son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed in 1953, when Robert
>was 6 years old, after being convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage.
>Robert founded the RFC to help and protect other children experiencing the
>same kind of nightmare he and his brother endured.
> If you know of a child of a targeted activist or a young
>activist who might qualify for an RFC grant, or for more information or an
>application, contact the Rosenberg Fund for Children at r...@rfc.org
