Jackie Wilson

Jackie Wilson (Treasurer) served on the board of the Ashkenaz Music & Dance Center in Berkeley. Among her many contributions, she proofreads the Cal NORML newsletter with an expert eye. A native of Michigan, she recalls, “My kindergarten-teacher, League-of-Women-Voters mom met Elsie Sinclair at the Ann Arbor Unitarian Church. Elsie was trying to get her son John out of Jackson State Prison, where he was serving a 10-year sentence for two joints. They marched for and acted for many things, including John’s cause, world hunger, housing, black lives, abortion rights, and drug legalization.”
