I live here/I want to live here
Brooklyn / Brooklyn

I am currently reading
Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver

My first political action was
When I was around four years old, my parents took me to a large rally to protest the storage of nuclear warheads on the Brooklyn waterfront.

My idea of a better world includes
No Texans in the White House, and legalized gay marriage.

What I love about being an activist
It’s all about the possibility of everything being better than it is now!

Issues I work on/care about
Feminism; reproductive freedom; sexuality education; youth activism; civic engagement (people need to VOTE!); equal rights; ending the War!

My top 3 movie recommendations for activists
1. Bamboozled (dir. Spike Lee)
2. Wag the Dog (dir. Barry Levinson)
3. Southern Comfort (dir. Kate Davis)

Music lyrics I live by
I live by music in general, but top faves for the activist to groove to are Lila Downs, Meshell Ndegeocello, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Zap Mama, and the Dixie Chicks!

Here’s a quote to live by:  “We have to laugh.  Because laughter, we already know, is the first evidence of freedom.” (Rosario Castellanos)
