Here’s an excellent old school video on how to establish a relationship with your elected officials & lobby them more effectively.* In my four decades in Washington, this is the best “how to” lobbying video I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to train activists across the country.

* Your results may vary.
Calling your reps is only the 1st step. This excellent old Amnesty International advocacy video gives very practical next steps for turning that call into a relationship. It also offers great tips on how to keep the pressure up until you get what you want. This should be mandatory for civics class.

A barn-burner from the editor of Jewish Currents:

“I wanted desperately to keep these images separate—to hold close the liberatory metaphor and banish the violent reality. By the time I began to accept that these were pictures of the same event, I was distraught”
“We Cannot Cross Until We Carry Each Other”

I work for NY City govt as an attorney and a big part of my job is overseeing the City's use of City property for public events, businesses, and other uses, like SummerStage, free Wifi kiosks, and ferries. It's neat to walk around my hometown and see the results of my work.
tell me what u are doing
be proud of your work and share it here
