- Matthew_Landy_Steen abstract "Matthew Landy Steen (born August 22, 1949) is a former member of Weather Underground Organization, Students for a Democratic Society and Yippies, a New Left activist and editor of Berkeley Tribe in the 1960s. In 1972 he was indicted on federal conspiracy and bank robbery charges to finance radical leftist Weatherman activities, sentenced to a ten-year federal prison term and became the first member of the Weather Underground imprisoned in the United States.Steen was once suspected of involvement in the U.S. Capitol bombing; the San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing in early 1970; and the 1971 burglaries of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) offices in Elizabeth, New Jersey and Media, Pennsylvania.This last anti-war action proved a pivotal event in developing new public consciousness and controls over government intrusion into the private lives of American citizens with the underground release to mainstream media of the then top-secret COINTELPRO files outlining illegal domestic counter-intelligence activities by the FBI and CIA (more fully revealed in the headlines of mainstream press and later Congressional hearings, in the mid-1970s, following the abortive Watergate burglaries).After his release Steen quickly returned to community activism, was elected to the Isla Vista Municipal Advisory Council, in Santa Barbara, then sponsored the Council's resolution to place None of the Above on the local election ballot — the first time this voting option had appeared on a ballot in the United States, sparking renewed interest in electoral ballot alternatives such as preferential voting, ranked-choice and instant-runoff voting.In 1977 Steen was featured on the lead segment of 60 Minutes in an interview with Dan Rather. This was the first and only time a former Weatherman had ever appeared on national television; the news show was viewed by more than 45 million American households. He was queried about his life underground, false identities, and the whereabouts of fugitive Weatherman.Among the many viewers were future President Jimmy Carter, who commuted Steen's convictions under his amnesty program for draft resisters, acting to "heal the nation". Another person watching was David Byrne, composer for the rock band Talking Heads, who wrote the popular song "Life During Wartime" to memorialize the 60 Minutes episode. In the interview with Rather, Steen stated that it "was time for members of Weather Underground Organization to emerge and engage change at the community level in this post-draft, post-Vietnam era." Mark Rudd resurfaced within 60 days and the remainder of the fugitive Weather Underground, including Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers surrendered to authorities over the next 22 months.Steen attended Mission High School, growing up in the city's first post-World War II housing project. His father had enlisted in the United States Navy shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, serving in the Pacific Theater, and as a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean hostilities. His mother volunteered to serve in the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) auxiliary during World War II and his uncle, Sherman Block was elected Sheriff of Los Angeles County in the 1970s. His younger brother, Scott Steen, is an internationally known jazz trumpeter and session man, who has recorded on more than 20 albums. Twice married, he has two children by adoption, Kahlio Landy and Aukhia Latisha. Steen resides in the Mission District in San Francisco working as a community organizer and policy advocate around social justice, anti-poverty, supportive housing and homelessness issues.".
