Being a community organizer means a lot of running around hither and yon, putting things in place and making things work. Your help will make it possible for me to hop, skip and jump around town and make magic happen!

On-the-ground organizing is long, hard and often expensive work. Surprisingly, one of the biggest expenses is administrative costs, like making copies, paying for city permits and keeping software and online services up-to-date. `Your assistance will enable me to keep the processes behind our work running smoothly!

With all this running around doing community organizing, it can be very difficult to eat healthy meals, but I've found that eating right is essential to being able to keep up with such a huge workload. Your support gives me the ability to afford healthy food that will help me to thrive while I dedicate my time to making the world a better place!

There have been many times when the intense stress of doing this kind of work has almost driven me to go get a 9-5 job. But there's simply no way I could continue making the same impact if I did that. Your patronage helps to sustain me while I continue this important vegan-centered community organizing!
