We have a lot to say about what we don’t like and what isn’t socially just about our current neighborhood, city, country, and world. But we often have a difficult time investing in what a tangible vision of the world we want would look like. Using t…

About Me
i love words. i think they hold a lot of power - that words used wisely are transformative and words used carelessly or dishonestly are destructive. that they hold our culture, context, and creativity.
i love the mountains (in colorado presently) because they remind me that there is something bigger than me. that each moment is simultaneously all about me and my experience of it, and also not about me at all.
i live in denver. am invested in working in the intersections of social justice - because i believe that by working in the intersections we have the most power to change individual oppressions. i play the cello and believe art is the most powerful tool we have to effect change today.
How I would like to change the world:
i would like to see us embrace freedom - truly. freedom: the place where i am not a slave to my own wants and demands, but am free to serve others; the place where i engage in what it means to love - myself and others - the god image in each of us; the place where everyone's basic needs are met, so that we can more fully engage in our world;
so in order to be able to see this one day in the world, i work towards it in my own life, my relationships, and my community today.
Favorite Bands

Activate Tour Day 27: Detroit, MI - Midnorth Regional Gathering 1

Alicia (from Chicago) and i are working in a coffee shop in Detroit this morning...the Regional Gathering in Detroit is beautiful! we had some great conversations about big-picture, institutional oppression and how that ends up effecting our individual lives. we also had some of the best conversation i've heard yet in FWT about allyship and what it means to partner with communities that are most effected by individual oppressions. what does it mean for older folks to support youth-driven work? w… Continue

Activate Tour Day 15: Cleveland, OH to Cincinnati, OH

I met up with Angela Orr in Cleveland, OH yesterday and had a great conversation! two things that i walked away from that conversation with:
1) Angela asked about other folks in her state and nearby states that she could connect with as she builds local street team work. A seemingly simple question, but later when talking with Michelle about the meet-up realized how wise and profound of Angela that was - to get connected, build a network of relationships, build accountability and support, and le… Continue

Activate Tour Day 10: Northeast Regional Gathering

What a beautiful day with beautiful people! Scott, Casey, Jay B, Shawna, Jeff, Dan of Philly, Sheppard, Laura, and myself spent the morning talking about FWT work, understanding oppression, what a member-led movement looks like, and how we work for systemic change. A walk in the woods and stuffed zucchini topped off the day.

Hey Seth.
We're trying to get ready for the Fort Collins Activate booth and I was looking to get more details.
Also, one of our three now has plans, but I am fairly certain I can get someone else to help.
My number is 303.915.9429.
Thanks for the help
Mica

I've found my partner in crime for Thursdays show, Adriana Pyllon. :)

That's the slightly tricky part, I'm still looking for help. Not many other Vegas members are active though. I've sent messages to everyone I can, so hopefully I have another name soon.

Hey, I'm a part of the Las Vegas team and I was wondering what info you have on the upcoming show there, and the activate booth that will be set up there. I'm down to do it, but we still need one more person on it though I think.

Yeah I am trying to talk to the Binghamton street team however they are a distance from me. And i think i might be able to get more people in my area inspired and hopefully they will get online and then we can start doing work in my area

Hey Seth!
Some of us up in Fort Collins would definitely be interested in running an activate booth.
Thanks

Hey seth!
I jsut finished reading all the PDF's you ahd on the organizers group and am still unsure about how to run monthly meetings. Do i go over each section every month or do we just apply what we talked about at the first one to all the activities we do in the future.

Also I need to find out a way to contact you more readily so I can get details about how you wish to be recognized in my Eagle Project and what-not
