About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To complete the cause of the civil rights movement and have the world work for 100% of humanity.

ABOUT ME

I'm a full time activist for civil rights. I especially focus on the needs off some of the most neglected people including unauthorized immigrants and prison abolition.

I love solving marketing and publicity puzzles for entrepreneurs with a conscious and a heart.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that finished is better than perfect. That none of us is smarter than all of us. And that change will happen because of a diversity of tactics.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm excited about the idea of "Couchsurfer"

Many times in my life I've "taken in strays"; however, the idea of the adventure of being on the other side is exciting at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on the Brooklyn Bridge when 800 of the Occupy comrades were arrested by the NYPD. I helped bail out 35 of them and got the money back when they went to court. I helped stop private prisons from being built 4 times and now the trend is shifted to the Federal govt. reconsidering the role of them. Next--restorative justice.
