I'm a software engineer by day and volunteer at other organizations in my off time. I volunteer as a crisis counselor at a suicide hotline, a patient care volunteer at a hospice, and have worked with other organizations in the past. My mantra over the past few years has been to pose the following question to myself and others, as I think it's how we can achieve progress. "What would it look like if we formed our activist communities around joy, not the suffering or the anger, as a basis for our change work?" (Lama Rod Owens)
