Media * advocacy * organizing * campaigns

@ Washington, D.C.

With ten years' training as a newspaper and magazine reporter and editor, experience winning local, state, Congressional, and judicial campaigns, a fundraising tally in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as political experience with state legislatures, labor, anti-poverty organizations, arts and culture work, Internet organizing, with specialties in grassroots organizing and Philadelphia politics, I am proud to be organizing for the Media and Democracy Coalition.

The American communications system – TV, radio, cable, newspapers, magazines, recording industry, public media, community media, online video and print and music – is at an unprecedented turning point, almost entirely because of the Internet, one of the greatest democratizing forces in human history. Decisions being made now will determine how democratized our communications system will be for at least a century: whose voices will be heard, and how, and whether the public will be able to use it as a tool to win back control of our own government.

Other personal: I speak Mandarin, make amazing chicken and dumplings, and after ten years in Philadelphia has been given permission to say I hail from there. I possess one of the coveted dual-purpose "Go Obama! Go Phillies!" t-shirts sold out of some dude's trunk in Mt. Airy in Nov. 2008 before both won. My family is from Leland, MS., which is where Highways 61 and 82 meet. And I hug.

Here is my general blog. Here is my blog that is specific to Philly politics, on YPP.

Here is my resume.

Here is some newspaper and magazine writing from 1997 to 2007. The Daily News op-eds are good.

Here is some campaign writing, from 2005 to 2008, including a sock puppet show we did for a ballot initiative. Humor is always undervalued in politics.

Me on Facebook and Twitter. Here are some lolcats.
