STREET ARTISTS PROTEST RUSSIAN 

INVASION REVISITED 

Spring is here and working outside 

is more comfortable. In Russia, they 

hold a victory parade to celebrate 

defeating the Nazies at the end of WWII 

while at the same time Putin’s army is 

committing the same atrocities that the 

Nazies perpetrated on Russia in Ukraine. 

insert russian parade 

During the past weeks, the muralist 

and street artists who oppose the 

Russian invasion of Ukraine have been 

celebrating spring by working with new 

ideas and more direct protests against 

the vicious unprovoked war that Putin 

has imposed on Ukraine. 

resistance of the Ukrainians continues 

their resilience is apparent as they repel 

the Russian bombings and persistent war 

crimes against innocent civilians. This 

is dramatically demonstrated visually 

in the mural painted on a brick wall 

showing hands sewing the Ukrainian flag 

together by Ukrainian artist street artist 

Sasha Korbin. 

Artists continue to promote peace and 

illuminate the evil of tyranny. 

European artists have been the most 

prominent in their work some of which 

are shown in this article. While the

Queer Serial History Podcast 

Profiles 

Supervisors Harvey Milk & 

Harry Britt 

Supervisor Harvey Milk anticipated his assassination. 

In his audio will, he left a plan for 

us. Now, in never-before-heard 

interviews with Milk’s chosen successor Harry 

Britt, people everywhere can hear the rest 

of the story. 

Critically acclaimed podcast Queer Serial: 

LGBTQ+ Liberation Before Stonewall is moving 

forward, into the 1970s and 

beyond, to tell the story of gay liberation 

in the wake of Milk’s assassination in a new 

“sister series” podcast called 

“Give ‘Em Hell, Harry! Keeping Harvey Milk’s 

Dream Alive.” 

In Queer Serial’s radio drama style, NLG- 

JA award-winning producer Devlyn Camp 

brings the story to life with news 

& gay radio shows from the archives, unheard 

interviews between historian Will 

Roscoe & Supervisor Harry Britt, 

and Harvey Milk’s unedited audio will. 

Over 7 weekly episodes beginning May 7 

and running through Pride month, Will and 

Devlyn will take listeners 

through the political rise of a person not 

many people knew, but trusted because 

Harvey did. 

How did a former minister from Texas carry 

on Harvey Milk’s political plan for radical 

gay liberation?

apple.co/3waEiP0 

Give ‘Em Hell begins in the politically heated 

late 1970s during Harvey’s death. Harry 

Britt took on the job as the only openly gay 

elected official in the country during some 

of 

the most violent years for American queer 

communities. He was a powerful and effective 

gay leader, even as his district became the 

epicenter of the AIDS crisis, and all while 

battling his own inner demons, compulsions, 

and confusion about his gender. 

Before Harry Britt’s death in 2020, Will Roscoe 

recorded 20 hours of interviews with 

Britt 

about his time in office—and why Milk 

chose him. Roscoe himself was present for 

this 

story. He was an activist, petitioned for 

Anne Kronenberg to take Harvey’s seat, 

and was 

a participant the White Night Riots after the 

Dan White verdict in 1979—an event 

which will be detailed in episode 3, released 

on the 43rd anniversary of 

this legendary gay riot on May 21, 2022.

training information once you officially 

sign up to volunteer HERE. 

We are now less than one month out 

from the primary election on June 7th 

and ballots have already started arriving 

to voters in the mail! But it’s not too 

late to take action and do your part to 

protect the vote in California by signing 

up as an Election Protection volunteer 

today. 

Here’s what being a poll monitor looks 

like: 

- You’ll be deployed to voting locations 

on Election Day, June 7th, and/or during 

the early voting period on June 4th and 

June 6th in Los Angeles, Riverside, or San 

Diego counties (depending on where 

you live). 

- For each 3-hour shift you sign up 

for, you will be assigned three voting 

locations to monitor. You will spend 45- 

50 minutes at each voting location and 

will complete your poll monitor checklist 

that is pre-prepared by Common Cause 

staff. 

- We provide all the training that you 

will need! We are hosting 1.5 - 2 hour 

poll monitor trainings on May 21st, 24th, 

and 26th. You only need to attend 

the training once and you will receive 

next page 20 

As a trained, nonpartisan volunteer, you 

will serve as voters’ first line of defense 

against confusing voting rules, outdated 

infrastructure, rampant misinformation, 

and needless obstacles to the ballot 

box. 

We hope you’ll join us to protect the 

vote in Los Angeles, San Diego, and 

Riverside counties!

I grew up 

in Taunton, 

Mass, a 

perfect 

child having 

an idyllic 

childhood. 

As a boy, my home was like a sports 

complex and included a large lawn for 

the hosting of sports contests, football, 

croquet, and badminton. The games 

often included the entire neighborhood. 

We had a swimming pool and pond 

for fishing in the summer and playing 

hockey in the winter. My yard faded into 

a wood that was a swarth of wilderness 

that stretched from Boston to Cape 

Cod. The actual Tesla was building a 

new electric grid but was bought before 

he sold it. 

I loved history and often correctly 

corrected the librarian and sat there 

looking like I hoped to catch them 

making a mistake. She told me that the 

historical society loves endless questions 

and I should talk to them. I agreed and 

reminded her that words like unnerving 

and weird also seemed unnecessary. 

22 Never miss a DDG we are always FREE only at ddg.gay 

These people changed my life. I had 

endless conversations on musket balls 

and muzzle velocity. 

My distant relative Ralph Davol, was a 

revolutionary war expert. Long before I 

was born, he was a state legislator. He 

was also a printer, artist, and sculptor 

who wrote one of the most important 

books of his time. Named Two men 

of Taunton, often called the most 

important book of his time. 

On occasion, we would visit with him 

and play in his carriage house, and 

he would show me each carriage. He 

would tell me which was owned by a 

man who helped write the Declaration 

of Independence. The smell of leather 

was intoxicating. 

This is Taunton! We were the first to join 

the Rebellion. We sent lawyer Robert 

Treat Paine to the First Continental 

Congress representing Massachusetts. 

In 1774, Taunton’s Sons of Liberty ran 

Loyalists out of town. We created and 

flew the first flag! The entire story is 

detailed in his book. 

The book is a great read about patriots 

and natives and battle strategy, 

consistent with a legitimate Rebellion. It 

is now in the public domain, and I have 

a rare signed copy and will reprint some 

excerpts that give an intimate look at 

the foundation of our nation. 

Let us know if you enjoy it and would like 

to see more.
