Well, There are so many threads and so little time...Thanks for reading mine.
I am currently a student at the U. of Montana (non-traditional since I am going to be 29 this Halloween). I have about a year left to go-but will be attending grad school+ -in Sociology and International Development. I really am anxious to get involved with social issues of inequality-both internationally and nationally. I am studying ecological issues due to demography, globalization, and capitalism-all effecting magration and exploitation of environment and indigenous culturals/people. I love Missoula and the freedom it gives me to explore the outdoors and be a lesbian without too much prej...but equal rights and religion need to be addressed. I had a commitment ceremony in a local church here (UCC) and it was quite controversal both from the community and my family. We had plenty of support, but I still struggle to find compassion even within my own family. My father just died this past September from alcohol addiction and my 5 year relationship with my partner ended just two months ago. These heart aches have sent me into a world turned upside down and I just need to get out there and be active in which I am passionate about. Life is too short and I have realized there are bigger things that I am drawn to do. This is how I found about soulforce-through talking to a friend that is very involved with her community...If anyone has any suggestions of more groups, let me know. Thanks.
