Jonathan Stacks

I live here/I want to live here
Chicago, IL

I am currently reading
“Ridiculous! The Theatrical Life and Times of Charles Ludlum”

My first political action was
Rally for more state funding for human services in Olympia, WA

My idea of a better world includes
Better communication across the board, especially about our fears, vulnerabilities, and confusion on issues that have become so polarized and black/white. Specifically, I would love to see liberation from our fear and confusion over our bodies and sexualities.

What I love about being an activist
Seeing the joy and elation when people realize they can create the social change they want to see in the world.

Issues I work on/care about
Sex education and liberation, anti-oppression, reproductive justice, and saving the church from political power-mongers

My top 3 movie recommendations for activists
Ma Vie En Rose (personal joy and self- expression amidst confusion by those dearest to us),
Shawshank Redemption (the power of hope), Waiting for Guffman (cause sometimes you just gotta laugh at the absurdity of it all)

Music lyrics I live by
“Rainbow Connection” by Kermit the Frog

My Zodiac Sign
Aquarius
