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,

Band Stand Meetup (Boston Common)

Howdy folks! I'll be at the bandstand on the Boston Common from 6:30PM to 7:30PM all week if folks want to come down and talk about ways to get directly involved in community outreach and charitable action. 

What's this "we" crap? (A personal note on protest)

Previous posts to the contrary, I'd hardly consider myself a "protester". Largely I don't have the time to participate in marches and mass actions. On one end if I cover protest and political action as a "member of the media", it presents a conflict of interest.  On the other end if I actively participate in said actions, I run the risk of compromising my professional objectivity.

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.

The Evolving Mission of My Walkabout

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.

Keep on keepin' on

Well shit, it's been a while. Work work work work work, life interrupts. Besides the usual tomfoolery on twitter, I've been researching up and coming legislation nationally, as well as gathering information on upcoming changes in voter registration laws.
