Mr. Slack Goes To Washington

I just arrived in DC where I'll be speaking at the Pledge 2 Protect conference about how anti-genocide activists can create viral videos, and of course promoting the HPA.

I feel as though I have been slightly disconnected from the anti-genocide movement for a bit - in part because the HPA has been focusing on Leaky Con, Azkatraz, WWDD, Nine and Three Quarters, Magical Acts of Kindness, Wrock 4 Equality, etc. and in part because I feel that the anti-g… Continue

Another Equality Update: this is neck and neck!

This election couldn't be more neck and neck. The voter turn out was huge today - far more than what folks expected in Maine. I'm a bit on the edge of my seat: Nate Silver sounds a lot less optimistic than he did earlier today. Rural votes are still coming in. This is pretty nerve racking. But this really really really could go in either direction.

Wrock 4 Equality Update

The polls in Maine have closed. The latest that I've heard is that the turnout in Maine is unusually high. This should be good news for all of us who are for marriage equality since "the game" here is that in an off-election the people that would most likely vote, are older and more likely to be against marriage equality. More people voting likely means that Prop One has electrified Maine voters and likely, it'… Continue

Wrock 4 Equality: Results

Wrock 4 Equality has so far achieved the extraordinary and we will continue until election day this coming Tuesday November 3, 2009! But let's take a look at what we achieved so far.

Each person involved did the extraordinary and the effects of that were felt all over the world.

It has inspired people across the entire globe. People in Maine were blown away. Our collective work as a community could be the thing that makes all of the difference in this election. I still feel on such a high - ju… Continue

Callforequality.org

I was just in the middle of phone banking tonight through callforequality.org - just started, and I was nervous. At first I thought I didn't know how to work the system - but Mass Equality's Andi Wheeler guided me through it and it's easy (tomorrow Andi can help guide you - as can our prefects, at any time Then I started making calls (something I hope everyone on here can do tomorrow as part of our Wrock 4Continue

Remus Lupin would be proud of all the work you and the HPA do on behalf of those whom society does not look upon favorably!

Hey Andrew,

I was wondering if we were going to do anything in any way to aid the victims and those getting sick from the Swine Flu? Or are we going to see if it just blows over?

Hey Andrew! I don't think I took the chance say thanks you so much for letting me be on the podcast, and allowing me to spread the awareness of Invisible Children! I was literally so nervous, I was shaking when you asked me if I wanted to be on the call. I'm so excited that I got the chance to promote the noble cause of IC! I'm really looking forward to working with you and the rest of the HPA staff! Hopefully, when you're not busy, we'll talk more in depth about the project. Again, thank you so much! It's unbelievable that I was just on the HPA podcast :)


much peace,
Angelia

Hey Andrew, it's Kate Artemis from the Verona Project! I can't get on Yahoo at school so I thought I'd just comment. How are you?
We are currently updating the site (literally. Sarah and I are typing it right now) so if you need more information about us you can check there at theveronaproject.synthasite.com.
We will have a not-so-temporary-and-more-awesome website up as soon as we pay the people nineteen dollars for a site domain. Should be soon. That website will be theveronaproject.com. I'll shoot you an email when that happens. Also, our PayPal account is underway. I'm activating my bank account today after school. I'll include that in the email too, once I send it.
Any other questions feel free to email me.
Thanks!
Kate/Artemis/whatever my name is...

Hi Andrew!
At the kickoff production of unlimited enthusiasm expo 2008 I met you.
I didn't expect to see you, so I was taken off guard. There was so much I wanted to say to you! I wanted to tell you how much you inspire me. I wanted to thank you for everything you gave me, a cause to fight for, the means to fight and a group of people I finally feel I belong with.
Instead I didn't really say anything, you said I should start a chapter in my school, and I said " I am unschooled", that was what I managed to get out. So even though it isn't the same as hearing it from someone in person, I just wanted to let you know how much you have touched my life!
As Paul played "the weapon," I danced right next to you, and as we all put our arms around each other, and I put my arm around you, I started to cry, it was so profound and spiritual, I was dancing with a group of people who really cared. and suddenly I wasn't dancing for me, I was dancing for all the people around the world, all the people you brought to my attention.
I have a picture of us together, you're making a fun face, and gazing over your glasses at the camera, I am smiling, just smiling.
So I just wanted to say thank you, and you have truly touched my life, and changed me for the better!

Hey Andrew! As an exchange student I have five books with me in the new country, only one of which is really fit to donate. I was looking for the best way to contribute and found some great stuff via Oxfam. I'll link to my post on the Gryffindor discussion... if you could get back to me and say whether or not this is do able and how many points a library would be, etc., that would be great... I want to know it's kosher before I pursue this instead of another method.
Here's the link to the discussion detailing the plan: http://thehpalliance.ning.com/group/gryffindor/forum/topics/donating-via-oxfamis-this
Thanks for all you do. :)
