I am the creative director of Rootwork.org, working with nonprofits and social change groups about how to build online movements; engaging, supporter-driven websites; and real-world activism that takes advantage of online social networks. I've been developing in Drupal since 2005, in the waning days of version 4.5.

¶ I am the online communications associate with the Fellowship of Reconciliation and part of the NetSquared Global Leadership Council, which organizes local gatherings of nonprofits and tech experts interested in using social technology for social change. For four years, I co-organized the Philadelphia NetSquared meetup, and since moving to Portland I've helped organize the PDX4Good nonprofit tech meetup.

¶ I was a co-founder of the Genocide Intervention Network (now United to End Genocide), and sit on the board of the Peace and Justice Studies Association. I have led community organizing workshops at the U.S. Social Forum, the New Organizing Institute and the Gandhi-King Conference, and I was a community organizer with Casino-Free Philadelphia. I have a degree in peace and conflict studies and authored a thesis on third-party nonviolent intervention.

¶ Back in 2003, I was part of a collective known as Why War? that launched nationwide electronic civil disobedience against voting machine manufacturer Diebold.
