Day 94

This morning I did some work and then brought my Dad a Father’s Day/birthday corned beef sandwich from Kaufman’s Deli. Just got back home and will spend the afternoon preparing for my interview with Hard Lens Media tonight at 6pm Central — you can watch it live on their YouTube page.

It looks like we will be talking about the 2020 Democratic National Convention, about Illinois for Bernie’s role in organizing our state’s delegation, and what’s next (including movement-based work and the Poor People’s Campaign). I haven’t done an interview like this in a while, so I am a little nervous! But it’s always good to take these opportunities to practice public speaking (something I loathe).

Wish me luck!

Day 89

 

I don’t know if I mentioned in a previous post that I have been elected to serve on the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) Rules Committee, representing Bernie Sanders’ campaign. I am starting to get a bit nervous because I am not familiar with the ins and the outs of the DNC, nevermind their rules! I was sent a bunch of materials to look over, to get a better understanding before I consider proposing rule changes/amendments, or before any committee meetings take place. Each document is 50+ pages long and written in legalese, so the task of comprehending it all seems a bit daunting! I plan to work on it this weekend, so I am ready for my interview on the subject on Hard Lens Media this Wednesday at 6pm. You can check it out then on their YouTube page.
