LOCAL MOTION, Ann Arbor's coalition of over thirty human service organizations, has survived the summer's dollar-drought and is raising the green stuff again this fall for groups which provide the community with: health care, child care, crisis intervention, mental health services and counseling, food coops, legal aid, housing, minority advocacy, educational media, and cultural enrichment.

LOCAL MOTION is receiving growing support from some thirty businesses and hundreds of individuals who daily contribute a voluntary tax at stores all over town. This money gets recycled to the community through LOCAL MOTION, who annually distributes it to its members who serve Ann Arbor. You can help cultivate change in this community by shopping at businesses that support your local services; by dropping that "spare change" in a LOCAL MOTION cannister; coming to the Community Fair September 28; and getting to know the organizations that improve the quality of life in Ann Arbor.

THE SUN is a biweekly alternative newspaper featuring editorial and cultural coverage not generally found in the regular media. Started in 1971 , the paper was known as Ann Arbor SUN until this summer, when it began a campaign to expand beyond Ann Arbor to become a regionally-based newspaper. The paper has been active over the years in Ann Arbor politics, helping to bring about the $5 marijuana fine and the 1972 victories of two HRP candidates for City Council. Last year the SUN gave away a pound of high-grade Colombian marijuana as the first place prize in a subscription contest. Always unusual, look to The SUN for this area's most complete events and entertainment calendar, plus a look at the news behind the usual headlines.

WOMEN'S CRISIS CENTER The Women's Crisis Center provides counseling and assistance for a broad range of problems faced by women. Services include unwanted pregnancy counseling and abortion referral, emergency counseling, referrals to sensitive therapists, gynecologists, lawyers, etc. CR and rap groups are organized as well. WCC's efforts in dealing with rape victims and rape prevention measures have probably received the most attention, however. Agencies and women's groups from around the country have sought out the Center for assistance in setting up their own anti-rape programs. Operated entirely on volunteer energy, the Women's Crisis Center's hotline is open from l0am to l0pm Monday-Friday.

FREE PEOPLE'S CLINIC Conceived in the idea that health care should be a right, not a privilege and that patients should be participants in the treatment process, The Free People's Clinic has been operating for several years in Ann Arbor.

Because of limited funding and the desire to provide high quality care, the clinic limits the number of people it can see each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening to ten. For others, it can make referrals to others sources of low cost medical treatment.

Each patient is assigned to an advocate, who explains the procedures they will undergo, answers questions and takes necessary information. Although intended primarily for those who cannot afford medical care elsewhere, the Free People's Clinic will see those who- for whatever reason-find no other acceptable source of treatment.

In addition to general medical services, the Clinic provides contraceptive services, pap smears, and abortion referrals.

DIAL-A-RIDE, Ann Arbor's very unique public transit system, picks up riders at their doors (in most cases) and takes them where they want to go. It has been in a process of phasing in since 1973. In April of that year, voters in Ann Arbor approved a bond issue which raised several million dollars towards improving the City's public transportation system, lowering fares to a quarter, and establishing Dial-A-Ride.

Now in operation in almost all areas of Ann Arbor (North Campus is one exception), Dial-A-Ride service begins at 7 am and runs till 11 pm Monday through Friday, till 6 pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday

Some limitations are: Dial-A-Ride won't pick you up if there is a convenient regular line bus that goes to the same area; sometimes you will be asked to walk a few blocks for the bus to pick you up; and call at least a half hour in advance of when you want to leave (more time if possible).

By the way, because of the experimental nature of Dial-A-Ride, the Federal Government is footing almost all of the bill for the vans used by Dial-A-Ride.
