ONE Day's Wages, ONE conference

OK, sorry, I am not a disciplined blogger, I admit it. Despite my best intentions, when things get really wild, I retreat to personal communications, critical emails and time with Bekah and the kids. Wait, hold on, I take it back, that's not really something to apologize for, since my silly indie rock posts can probably wait. (Though I do need to explore why Jawbreaker's "Accident Prone" is playing in my mind even though I haven't listened to it since 08 {come to think of it, maybe it's related to my skateboarding crash a couple weeks ago} and the general brilliance of that band)

Anyhow, on the non-profit and awareness raising front, this great video explaining the launch of ONE DAYS WAGES. Although we already give quite a bit more than one days wages to a World Vision child sponsorship, I think this is a great entry point into caring about extreme poverty and taking the first step to make a difference. I'm ready to give but I better check with Bekah first ...

This Saturday I'm headed off to the ONE Member conference in San Francisco with Kevin and Scott. It was nearly three years ago that I went to an event at UC San Francisco that helped me to a beginning understanding of my role as an advocate and an organizer. As I am still barely scratching the surface of advocacy, it's my hope that we can all take a leap forward in our efforts to MAKE EXTREME POVERTY HISTORY.
