I see myself as a global activist for social justice, even though at this time in my life my primary focus is on raising my own two children. My main issue areas are debt cancellation, HIV/AIDS and US Policy toward Africa and Central America. Also passionate about fair trade, international labor rights and peaceful conflict resolution. As a mother I find it challenging to be as involved as I have been at other times in activist work or international travel. Even keeping up on issues is harder than it used to be. I am glad to have a way to stay connected however I can.
