Retired municipal employee

I came of age during the civil rights movement, Vietnam War and Watergate. These and other events shaped my world view and political perspectives. I organized opposition to the Vietnam War in my high school and later worked as an organizer with the United Farm Workers (UFW). At college and since I've been active in LGBTQ+, union and socialist politics. I've been with my husband for 31 years. I’m a student of mindfulness and meditation — not a perfect practitioner by any stretch, but good enough to realize some of the benefits.
