ACLU Jack Green Award

The Sonoma County ACLU gives the Jack Green as the Jack Green Award recipient for 2012. Green, a union organizer in Santa Rosa in the 1930's, was tarred and feathered and dumped at the Marin County line by vigilantes (including some police officers). He came back a couple days later and continued his organizing work. Our wonderful Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey put a little blurb about the award in the Congressional Record .
