This photo was taken on January 20, 2009. I was standing on the National Mall in Washington, DC with hundreds of thousands of people to witness the inauguration of President Obama. I traveled to DC a lot for the better part of my late teens/early twenties for things such as the March On Washington in 2007 to protest the war, as well as lobbying for healthcare reform with the American Heart Association. I volunteered for the Obama campaign locally, as well as the the Jackie Green (green party) Louisville mayoral campaign in 2011. Political activism is something that I love being a part of, and wish to return to.
It's always cool to see it when young people get involved politically. I always wished I had paid more attention to local and national politics when I first came to college rather than last year
ReplyDeleteI think it's so awesome that you protested the war. I totally support you!!
