This trip occurred at the time of the Weatherman takeover of the SDS Executive and during their planning of the Days of Rage at the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago.

Elle est l'un des quatre auteurs de "Sisters, Brothers, Lovers... listen" pour la conférence finale de SUPA (Student Union for Peace Action) le week-end de la fête du travail 1967 à Goderich. Au cours des deux ou trois années suivantes, elle a vécu et travaillé avec Toronto Women's Liberation à Montréal, avec le mouvement étudiant radical de McGill et les autres groupes de libération des femmes.
