Activists at the Reclaim the Commons mass demonstration in San Francisco, "locked down" around a street garden to protest unsafe, untested and uncontrollable genetically engineered foods, drugs and bio-weaponry. As police confiscated the garden one plant at a time, the activists encouraged officers to adopt the plants, pointing out specific seedlings and their decorative and practical uses to the police.

Adopt-an-Activist is actively recruiting folks who will help us in our efforts to support front-line organizers, either as volunteers or potentially as board members. Dedicated to systemic change, we’re innovative in our thinking and revolutionary in our hearts. Won’t you join us?

In particular, we’re looking for folks who are skilled in one or more of the following:

Public relations
Event production
Finance and accounting
Individual and organizational fundraising
Grant writing
Legal representation and support (experience in either NLG or ACLU or non-profit business law)
Internet related communications
Online merchandising
Tabling and flyering at events
Or do you have an idea of something else you could do?

Could this be you? If so, please drop us a line and let us know. Or call us at 530.994.3370 and ask to talk with Focus.

And if it’s not you, perhaps you know someone who fits the bill. If so, please pass this appeal along.
