I just finished Day 2 of Camp Courage Fresno yesterday. I have never been so fired up to get started and get out there! I came into Camp Courage so angry and with no where to go. I was thinking this is going to be a place where we are all going to be angry together. Even though that was true I learned to take my anger and make it positive. I now know that when I get angry to take that energy and get out there and do something about it. And thanks to Camp Courage and couragecampaign.org I have the tools, resources and support that I need to make a change. I want to thank all the campers, facilitators [especially Mike Ai], organizers and everyone who helped me get to the point I am at now. I can't wait to see you all in the future!!

My four commitments were:

1. Join the efforts of Democrats in Action with what I have learned
[which I am doing today. If you want to add the facebook page go to http://www.tinyurl.com/FresnoDemocrats]

2. To ask my friends to join Courage Campaign and pledge to stop No on 8 [also to educate them and recruit them]

3. To phone bank and get at least 150 calls done in the next 30 days

4. To get at least 75% of my Facebook Friends to come to Meet in the Middle   Read More »

I just got back from Camp Courage Fresno Day 1!!! I am more energized, inspired, and ready to get this going in Fresno. I am so glad I have met a group of people that not only want to bring a change to Fresno [and California] but want to lead and educate people.
I feel good about the tools given to me to lead and organize the movement. I can't wait to start using them and to start getting out on the streets of Fresno to bring about the change that is needed and hoping to expand and help out in other counties where it is needed.
I am no longer afraid because I know that I will have others there to help and support me and make me feel even more accepted!

I am proud to be a straight ally for the LBGTQI Community in Fresno!!!   Read More »
