"This leaflet was produced by Fredy Perlman with Martin Glaberman, of Facing Reality, and Mary Ravitz, of Radical Education Project. It was an effort to reach people (“the rank and file”) who would collaborate with them in the production of a publication about what it was like to live and work in Detroit. People would be invited to speak for themselves about “what’s wrong and what’s right” with life in Detroit. Lorraine Perlman writes in Having Little, Being Much, “Fredy’s initial optimism, based on the polite—even friendly—response when they passed out the leaflets, turned to disappointment when only one individual actually responded by telephoning. And that person was already ‘politicized,’ a member of another organization.” There are two versions of this leaflet. One has a background photograph of a group of people standing on the front steps of a building, repeated. The other has a background photograph of people working in an office at desks."
