New Friends in Advocacy

While in DC at the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference last month, I had the chance to meet consumer advocates who are doing GREAT things around the USA.

I met Diane Sullivan of Boston MA, a consumer advocate teaching homeless families to act politically and advocate for themselves and others. Bet she could teach me a thing or two about advocacy, and she has a great smile!

I also made a friend of Joe out of Delaware, working with the Delaware AIDS Coalition. Health issues created a situation that led to homelessness for Joe, but now he is helping others out of the same spot. He has so much positive energy and enthusiasm. Go, Joe!

Here's hoping we keep in touch...maybe Joe or Diane will check in on my blog sometime and post a comment! Guys if you are reading this, I am sending my love!
