Peninsula | San Francisco | Environment & Forest DefenseEPA Youth/Raging Grannies Part III: STREET THEATER
Drum Roll Puh-LEEEEZ! Part III: Roundin' Up Romic at the OSHA Corral The Raging Grannies and members of Youth United for Community Action, residents of the SF peninsula city of East Palo Alto, pay a little visit to OSHA's San Francisco district office on February 6, 2007 to protest ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM and CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE Lights, Camera, ACTION! The entire action, including the rally, march, Lock Out, and street theater were filmed and otherwise recorded for posterity by Bill Carpenter for Indybay and Pam Walton for Pam Walton Productions. Watch for it in a theater someday near you! (Hopefully within the Grannies' lifetimes.) http://www.PamWaltonProductions.com

The Players
Granny Ruthie P as cowgirl #1, Granny Gail as the greedy Romic lawyer, Granny Barbara B. as the OSHA office lady (with rude phone manners). Not in photo: Granny Ruth R, as cowgirl #2
POW!
Raging Grannies are TOTALLY committed to non-violence. So we act out our inate violent tendencies in street theater to keep those compulsions at bay. Here the Romic lawyer gets roped in by cowgirl Granny Ruth R. (WHIP will reappear in a street theater action at Jeppesen Dataplan in San Jose soon. The Grannies deploy it ONLY on special occasions...like this one!)
Super Close-Up
Nice shot, Bill!
