I'm a student activist in Cottage Grove and Eugene, Oregon. I've been involved with the movement for three years now, starting with founding high school political groups and organizing a successful walk-out against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I joke that, instead of following the trend of small town kids, I got hooked on politics rather than drugs.
I work with several groups and am on the National Advisory Board for the Not Your Soldier project (a nation-wide youth-let counter-recruitment group) and the Rural Organizing Project Board of Directors.
Aside from politics, I love to knit, read, and kick, though I can never seem to get away from my news junkie ways.
Interests
ENDING THE WAR, FUNDING PRIORITIES, counter-recruitment, human rights, equality, campaign finance reform, comprehensive immigration reform, feminism, youth rights, education...
Organizations I belong to
Not Your Soldier, Rural Organizing Project, Cottage Grove Stand for Peace, Blackberry Pie Society, Community Alliance of Lane County, National Youth Rights Association

Hello Jessica,
Used to live in your neck of the woods, now in S. Oregon. Still get up to and have a lot of friends in the Eugene area. Creswell is sure changing fast. Good to see you hear and keep up all the good work. If you ever want me in Eugene for a rally, benefit, ??? just let me know.
Wow--reading your "About Me"--you've done a lot! We NEED you! Yay for counter-recruitment! In my area there's a mix of age groups working on "Bring the Troops Home" and other causes. But not enough on Impeachment! And I'd love to see MORE young people prioritizing "Save the Republic" front & center (impeach, election reform, climate change). Thanks for setting a great example. The Northwest seems alive with conscious folk. Thanks for being here!
Pat
Thank you Jessica for your passion and compassion. It is a pleasure to be your friend. Because shallow breathing is the root of all evil and conscious deep breathing is the fountain head of all beneficial experiences eye will certainly be joining you in all of the conscious deep breathing activities that you are choosing to undertake. Lets have fun with the rest of our lives taking one conscious deep breath at a time
