We are incredibly excited to be receiving our intern, Steve Fisher, in the beginning of January to help us interview, film, and develop our video workshops for three months. We have known Steve for years, and truly value his anthropological background and zest for popular education. He’s also fluent in Spanish, which will come in very handy.
Steve is organizing a fundraiser to pay for his travel and living expenses. All funds he raises beyond these costs will go directly to the Adapting to Scarcity project. Below are the fundraiser details – from what we’ve heard, it’s an event not to be missed. The flier for the event can be downloaded here.

We’re in out last two weeks in the Bay Area. Wow. The trip to Mexico is getting much closer (late September), and there are still many loose ends to wrap up. This Thursday we’re hosting our last fundraiser in the Bay Area. We’ll be bartending at Tonic Bar in San Francisco from 6-9pm this Thursday, August, 6th. All tips will go to our project. Please come out, and bring your friends!

The fundraiser was a success! We are well on our way to raising enough money to purchase film making equipment. It was a warm sunny day and an excellent community of people came out to support. Karolo from International Rivers set up a table full of informational material showcasing all the good work they do. DJ Delgado of Aztlan Roots provided amazing music and set the tone for a great day. Pictures soon to follow! Thank you all for all your donations and support – this is what the grassroots is all about.
The Fundraiser is tomorrow and today is filled with last minute preparations, lots of cooking, and hopefully a bit of relaxing. Pulling an event like this together in this economic climate has been surprisingly full of abundance. There will be a sizeable raffle tomorrow, and the donations I’ve received from friends are incredible. From massage gift certificates and a night at Green Gulch Farm to beautiful art prints, jewelry, and hand crafted bags (and lovely eco-friendly children’s toys!), it’s been wonderfully overwhelming to experience the support and beauty of my network -not to mention all my friends who are cooking amazing dishes today. Thank you all.
