Meet a JOAN OF ARC, GIRL CRUSADER, Watch her
take on Section 8 housing, and the
entire ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM going on for the
DISENFRANCHISED in USA. Promote
her so you become a journactivist.
I belong to a FRUGAL LIST over at YAHOO. Nice invention. I get a dozen 'posts' a day from my fellow listers. We discuss pressing issues like dumpster diving, frugal cuisine, the poorhouse Gourmet, welfare, AFDC, how Clinton gutted it (Booo!) how glad we are that Monica gutted HIM.....We are.rarely political --mostly just frugal concerns & tips shared. Suddenly last week this gal comes on who's like... a voice from History, Joan of Arc or something. Rebecca T. talks about SECTION 8 housing for the poor and even has wild new ideas about how to make it a profitable business for a team of poor people who buy a bldg and go into offering section 8 housing. She extrapolated the possibilities for poor people to make business with it. I like extrapolation, research so pervasive that she is able to do Invention, originality. Plus I note the subtle power in her brief jottings. Being a professional writer & astrologer psychic, combined. I spot the Joan of Arc DNA strand in her musings on the laws surrounding poor people's housing and she discusses what she would do to fix things. I run a website called HEROES OF THE MOVEMENT so I want to add her to it somehow, but also inform my fellow lister people how to spot a leader. For the purposes of course of the R(EVOLUTION.) I quickly write the list:
"Wow! the vigor and charisma in Rebecca Tillero's
VOICE. She's researching arcane areas of life like homelessness, joblessness,
what GOV does for the disenfranchised sector. I SEE A HERO IN THE MAKING,
I volunteer to be your P.R. girl. You're an easy sell to mags, newspapers.
Reporters LOVE somebody
like you. Not that you care, you're more focused
on the problems in society but I type l00 wpm and habitually write on the
subjects of the Poor, their needs. Being a senior, I don't hit the streets
or drive any more or fuss up much about section 8 issues or freezing feet
on the homeless in the park cuz I cannot drive to that park and hand out
socks but I can do volunteer PR for an energetic cuss like you. Each of
us on the freegan list should spot in this girl someone we can do freebie
P.R. for and if we write, do pieces on her to submit to newspapers
...well that would be in her city. OR, each of us might find some activist
worth promoting in our own city and do the same. Create little expose type
articles, submit to head editor there, to get newspaper to let you be a
STRINGER for them, so they read everything you submit or research. You
work your way into journalism, or more fun, maybe, easier. SUBMIT your
PR releases, really well written, to JOURNALISTS at that newspaper who
are desperate for HUMAN INTEREST STORIES. Either way, keep those tales
of the heroic battling RECESSION comin' in the public's face day in day
out so that groups get started, initiatives start to get voted in...or
just a consciousness and awareness of special needs and some charitable
interest gets started. Bug under my PERSONAL bonnet is daycare for latchkey
kids whose mothers work a few days a week, who don't have any child care...
i.e. the concept of fund raising for scholarships to extant daycares so
aid is handed to needy single mothers. ( THE
DAY CARE CHARITY)
BUT I'll bet we all have some 'area.' I had a
schizy boy, couldn't get any
psych unit in LA to see him, none! Dede Hirsh
Ctr was 75$ hr, back then
1996, and kid got worse and the little freebie
ctr said he was 'too off'
for them to see him. THALIANS at CEDARS SINAI
was 50$ hr. So PSYCH HELP for
STRUGGLING PARENTS w. schiz kids, another one
of my biggies.
There are fascinating issues that make GREAT SUPERB
NEWSPAPER STORIES and
they go unseen, unknown. So ISSUE PR is an interesting
pro bono volunteer
field. And hey, you meet every reporter at every
new paper, some nice
friends and socializing there, fershure! I'd
have loved to have met author
Michael Connelly, LA TIMES crime writer before
he hit it big. (thrillers, mysteries,
films).
Then there's OUR OWN posting of articles on this
hero over at online journals,
ezines and such. You can easily get a good graphic
of her, a portrait shot. (HOW TO
DO
HTM ARTICLES WITH GRAPHICS. )
The
idea is, you discover an activist, you write her up, put her picture in
newspapers, get her booked on tv shows, you build her into an ISSUE PLUGGING
Activist star. Like Erin Brockovich vs. City Hall. That's how you get a
new broom to sweep. WE strand by strand PUT THE STRAW on the stick until
it's a hefty broom. Each time you can post her name on the internet and
it comes up i a google, she's getting more and more famous. THEN take her
book which you co write with her and GET AN AGENT, then a PUBLISHER. And
get a cut of the book action. See "HOW
TO BE A WRITER" WEBSITE ARCHIVE. Think if you'd met that girl Julia
Roberts played, the one who worked for L.A. Lawyer discovered toxic dump
sites, sued for millions, ERIN BROCKOVICH If you'd written her up
a few times, early in the game, helped her write her book, found her the
agent, publisher, and also hand written up a contract to get 20% of her
action, you'd be sitting on a million so activism pays. DOing charities
also pays. See LAUNCH
A
CHARITY and YOU GET TO SALARY YOURSELF.
Dear Rebecca, have I interested you? Send me
your clippings kit,
tales of your first hand adventures in an autobiographical
/journalish TONE, text or htm, let's see what
there is to work with,
sign me ex English Major at UCLA ...

How hard would it be for a progressive senior with time on his/her hands
to audit these YAHOO lists, progressive in tone, spot leaders in our own
cities, help them to do E-zine articles, so they get a really fat google
when literary agents, reporters, publishers google them, you know build
an ERIN BROCKOVICH or a DANIEL
SHEEHAN, someone already concecrated to the MOVEMENT. Dedicated.
Build them, edit their writings, be their PR person, get articles posted
at ezines on them, on the issue of course, like the movie PRECIOUS which
just won, that started with an obscure NOVEL, but really is an issue pic.
