I presented at TEDxIIT on Saturday, April 14, on the south side campus of IIT. I talked about The Gift Economy and created one among the attendees. 82 of the 100 attendees actually offered something to their fellow attendees!

I’ll be in St. Louis on March 16 and 17 as part of the Occupy The Midwest Regional Conference. Join me and thousands of activists, concerned citizens and Occupiers under the Gateway Arch. I’ll be presenting on the No Games Chicago campaign and also “Community Organizing 101.” You can see the presentations at my teaching web site.
Will Guzzardi is the real deal. I’ve been urging cultural workers, nonprofit managers and social change agents to run for office for over 20 years. I tried it myself. Will is a grassroots journalist and has done investigative work on social change issues and has fully participated in the social change movements in his community of Logan Square. Now he is a candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination for State Representative of the 39th District. He has got the Democratic Machine on the run! Listen to this seven minute speech and you will know why the people of the 39th District are excited about the idea of having a real fighter for the 99% representing them – and not a mouth piece for large corporations, the tax evasion industry and big pharma – they ALREADY have enough paid reps shilling for them!
Join the push to take back our local government from the 1%!
