Part-time intellectual, part-time intuitive, full-time strategist for social evolution, yet laced with compassion and a deep connection to the communities I am a part of. There are too many Daves already, so I go by Amarado. It comes from Amador and El Dorado which is my part of California. I have spent 20 years in this area, recovering from 40 years in LA.
I recently came away from 3 years of being a ZFellow with the Community Technology Foundation, learning and working to equalize access to technology across all social groups. This year, I have been showing videos to promote the Millennium Development Goals to reduce Global Poverty.
I am organizing faith-based action around Fair Trade, Jubilee (Debt Forgiveness) and AIDS / Malaria reduction. We have also participated in microcredit (KIVA) and water projects (Ryan's Well).
Long ago, a guru taught me these priorities: Be… Do… Have… (for example…Be a Sacred Being, Do socially redeeming activities, Have a just and sustainable society)
If you believe this model can work, I invite you to join in planning some grass-roots dialog. Think mom-n-pop shop action rather than Big Box Superstore action.
In Addition:
If we really want to CHANGE THE WORLD, I recommend getting on board with the Millenium Development Goals of the UN. Not just for governments, also companies, charities and individuals can play a significant role in making these very doable goals a reality in the next few years.
