What are your passions?

Connection, empathy, creativity.

I鈥檝e especially been finding joy in community organizing with people younger than me. The Jewish concept of the longed-for 鈥渨orld to come鈥� can actually be translated from the Hebrew as 鈥渢he world that is coming鈥濃�� present tense, continuous. What that means to me is that the heart-opening relationships that we cultivate in the process of doing the work of justice are a real experience in the present of the world we are striving for in the future.

Why do you belong to the Founders鈥� Circle?

猫咪社区! is like a battery recharge for the soul.

I love hearing from fresh, creative voices about local work that is really making a difference. I love the photos of all the beautiful people in and behind the stories. And I love sharing extra copies of 猫咪社区! with my young activist friends. We have gotten ideas, inspiration, and connections through 猫咪社区! and its amazing editorial staff.

It is so vital to support the work of 猫咪社区! right now, and to find ways to amplify its voice. I consider it an investment with benefits that ripple out in all directions.
