'''Prairie Fire Organizing Committee''' ('''PFOC''') formed in 1974, was the publishing arm of the [[Weather Underground Organization]] (WUO), the [[terrorist]] spin-off from [[Students For a Democratic Society]] (SDS).  Its first pamphlet was ''Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-imperialism'', written by [[Bernardine Dohrn]], [[Bill Ayers]] and Jeff Jones. According to Prof. Harvey Klehr:

:It announced that "we are [[communist]] men and women" and urged its supporters to form an above-ground arm of the WUO. Chapters soon formed in several cities with perhaps a thousand members. Members of PFOC helped facilitate communication and logistics for WUO members living underground.<ref>Harvey Klehr, ''Far Left of Center: The American Radical Left Today'' (Transaction Books, New Brunswick, 1988), 109.</ref> The PFOC also published Breakthrough, a quarterly journal which routinely called for widespread violent resistance to U. S. imperialism, and ran article after article praising third-world single party Marxist-Leninist dictatorships.
