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.

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.

At 2:21pm on April 1, 2010, Sheppard said…: Seth,

it's Sheppard, the Street Team Organizer for Philadelphia. We met at the Binghamton meeting during you tour. Anyway, I'm setting up a greenspace rejuvenation project to coincide with Earth Day. We're planning on doing it 04/24. Basically an abandoned lot has been sitting overgrown and ugh for years. I talked with the owner whose allowing us to rejuvenate it and also wants to donate money to pay for garden supplies, but he wants to be able to deduct it for tax purposes. CAN YOU HELP? I guess I'm wondering if there's a process to have him donate to Flobots.org, which would give him the tax deduction capability, and then Flobots.org would turn around and send me the money for purchasing soil, mulch, plants, etc. Please let me know. The Philly Street Team is meeting Friday, 04/09 to discuss and I only have 3 weeks or so to purchase supplies. ANY ADVICE OR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks.

Sheppard

Thanks for the help
