So I heard about
Agents of Change on the 24 hour Kiva
Talk-a-thon and I checked out their website. They are a group of bikers who have set up a non-profit to support Kiva. They are 'Riding for Change' and thier first big event will be to raise $1,000,000 driving down the West coast from Vancouver to Mexico. The money will be invested perpetually in
Kiva loans in Mexico.
So I contacted them, and asked them what they were doing in LA. They don't have a contact here yet (so nothing planned), so I became the contact and am helping to organize the LA event. So far I've sent out a few emails to the
Kivaloans yahoo group and the
Fairtrade LA group, and have already gotten a few replies with help. I am totally open to comments and suggestions. I've never done this before.
I also posted an idea to several
Obama groups, suggesting that people start talk shows for Obama on
talkshoe.com. Lets see if that idea takes off. I don't have the time or voice.
