Perception vs. reality is a powerful insight in and of itself. Keep it real as you and the Taskforce move forward.
Organize, mobilize, repeat. Keep up your free attitude and desire to make a difference.

I'm excited to have you in our Public Achievement group and look forward to hearing more about your experiences and tapping your expertise as we ramp up PA in New Hampshire.
I love your motto - what a great line! And amazingly enough, I've actually read - or used (in the case of Augusto Boal) - each of your recommended books, and have them on my bookshelf :-)
As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.
As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.
In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)
Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. And please, the next time you're online, upload a photo to your personal profile -- the easiest way to make a virtual network feel more personal is by seeing each other's faces (and profile answers). Thanks again!
