Message-ID: <53f7508fee92f_76bc7ec3ea0704fb@worker01.rally.org.mail> I'm leading the Rally for Kendra Gonzales, and I think you will be inspired by this campaign. Please take a moment to check it out. Sunp0232 Kendra Gonzales invited you to join a Rally. Kendra Gonzales ( https://rally.org/Kendra_Transition_Ventura?utm_source=email_invites ) 2029 supporters Rally for Kendra with Stage 4 Cancer to keep her home and still be an Activist! I have Stage 4 Cancer. I've had Brain Surgery and a Hysterectomy over the last 2 months, and looking at Chemo & Radiation in the near future (but exploring other alternative holistic healing methods in a big way!) I'm FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, and to KEEP FROM BEING EVICTED. I've also been an Activist and Community Organizer in Ventura for 20+ years. I?ve worked with over 50 organizations on dozens of different issues, have organized / co-organized over 100 events. project management, strategic planning, consulting, research, Before getting so ill, I was working on 2 Pet Projects: ?Eco-Buyers Ventura? ? A Conscious Consumers Cooperative, and ?Carbon Zero Cool Schools? ? a goal to transition a local elementary school to a Carbon Free school. Right now, I have zero income other than the generosity of my friends, peers, and advocates...this is an amazing community! For those who have already donated, consider this an "update" and something your can forward on your social media sites and circles. In order to pay my rent for August, and September and pay Utilities, I need $3,000. In order to sustain myself financially moving forward, I need $1500 a month. I need to create that income by offering my many skills and services to donors / investors. What if 75 people out of my 2,500 contacts, each paid me $20 a month to provide a service I can do on my laptop and/or with a phone. I?ve accomplished quite a bit using those 2 items! I could rest assured I was covered the next 2 months while I recover and build my income and this amazing new ?umbrella? org I?m advocating we utilize called Transition Ventura. Here are my 3 focus areas of my activism /organizing work: 1)Offering my space as a small community center in mid-town Ventura for meetings, workshops, playshops, art, music, film, cooking, growing food, seed bank, retreat, and a place to bring a client or have a meeting in a nice quiet space. ***Research Grant opportunities, and apply for large grants to disperse amongst the many organizations I?ve worked with, admire and who want to collaborate more with other organizations and with Transition Ventura on projects here that combine sustainability, social justice, green businesses and local economy efforts. ***Assist other organizations with promotion, organization, strategic planning, and fundraising.
