Well there've been a couple of times since I left the Witnesses when I've looked into doing some volunteer work, once with the Public Library and once with the County Democratic Party. But neither one panned out.
Today, however, I met with a board member of YFFN, the local gay-rights organization. They need some database work and possibly some other computer help; and I'm going to their office on Saturday to see what I can do.
I also had my first Letter to the Editor published on Sunday... it was opposing a proposed amendement to the state constitution to ban gay marriage.
I've been wanting to do volunteer work for some time, and I've also been wanting to be involved in political advocacy in some way. It's great to be able to combine those two!
