Our Arrival

So on Friday May 16th, my friend Kramer and I set out for Minneapolis, Minnesota to work as environmental canvassers for the summer and to find an adventure.

After thirteen long hours in the car, we finally made it here - and needless to say its a pretty cool place.  We're living in a ten-person house that is giant and very dark... our roommates think it was built before electricity was invented because all of the light switches are on the ceiling and no one can really reach them.   Everybody in the house is really cool -they've even taken us out to parties with them a few times thus far-  and it ended up that where we work is only a few blocks away.

The organization we're working for is called Fund for the Public Interest.  Its a grassroots organization that was started twenty years ago in order to provide the most progressive organizations in America a helping hand in building up name-recognition, to raising money for campaigns, and also to provide more support in general for the movements being addressed. 

We'll be working with Environment Minnesota, the US Progressive Future and also the Human Rights Campaign... let the adventure begin.
