For those of you that think that I should post stuff about me on my blog – the my school just posted a piece about an award I just got on the website. It’s really cool – the Foundations for Change: Thomas I Yamashita Prize supports young activists that make social change happen. If you get a chance, you should read about Yvette Marie Robles and Lina Hu, the Honorable Mention awardees – they’ve done (and continue to do) amazing work in Oakland and China.
Rabin was nice enough to do an audio recording of parts of the ceremony.
