The Evolving Mission of my Walkabout
#opwalkabout and you...
Over the past month, I've had to put a lot of thought into my motivation for this walk.
Explaining myself several times a week to friends, coworkers, and strangers has honed (and altered) my response. I'm walking from Boston to Washington D.C. for several reasons. Without getting too into the politics of it, there is a pretty severe disconnect between state and federal legislation.
As we've seen with "hot button" issues like abortion and cannabis reform, the federal government has a habit of stepping in when it suites, violating any tacit agreements between state and federal government or implied sovereignty of state legislation. That being said, there's also a pretty severe disconnect on the end of the American public.... (read more)

Let's try to keep spin out of this hmmm? I'd really like to hear both sides of the argument for and against #anonbloc. I've compiled what information I could find here, please hit me up with any other info you can find. The action is already running, but I think it's important to continue the dialogue in a public fashion.
Thanks,

THERE ARE SEVERAL GOALS THAT RESONATE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE "MASK". THOSE WHO CLAIM ANONYMITY AND PROTEST, SHARE MANY OF THE SAME PRINCIPLES AS WE WHO STAND UNDER OUR OWN NAMES. IT IS WHERE THOSE PARADIGMS TOUCH, THAT WE CAN PULL IN TANDEM AND ACCOMPLISH MANY GREAT THINGS.
Pollinate: Money and NPOs
Before getting into the "hows" of raising money for charity, it's important to cover the legal side of things. Depending on the charity you are raising money for, there may be restrictions with how funds are raised, and how to account for those funds. Figure out the charity you are interested in working with and contact them before moving forward with any planning.
To avoid the risk of misinterpretation, here's the wiki definition of "Charitable Organization"
Please peruse the legal definitions below, feel free to contact with any additional information, as the fund raising legaleze may vary from state to state.... (read more)
Massachusetts Department of Corrections Master Plan: 2020 projections.
Introduction to Executive Summary:
"As a strategic capital plan, this Corrections Master Plan (CMP) has focused on the system as a whole in order to identify the most cost-effective approach to investing capital dollars in the Massachusetts Correctional System. This comprehensive approach provides a framework to meet the projected bedspace needs into 2020, address current overcrowding, and create a better coordinated system that is both efficient and cost-effective. Application of a new Standards–based capacity (CMP Baseline Capacity) indicates that the system housing 2009 populations has a current shortfall of approximately [over 9000] bedspaces, before considering growth in populations.
Without any capital improvements or modifications to operating procedures and policies, the shortfall to house the same populations is expected to climb to approximately 12,100 bedspaces by 2020. Based on the recommendation to gradually eliminate federal inmates and to reassign civil commitments to treatment settings, this shortfall could be reduced to approximately 10,250, requiring an estimated capital investment of $1.3 to $2.3 billion in today’s dollars and an increase of estimated annual operating costs totaling as much as $120 million."
