Bonnie Stinson
Bonnie Stinson is currently a nomadic creative with lots of feelings around intimacy, socialization, and identity. She wants to be a better communicator/capturer of the human experience in a variety of media (film, poetry, prose, installation art, collage, dance), inspire deeper respect and dignity for all living things (dignity for our food, workers, animals, the integrity of our natural landscape, democratic education for children), and generally make true freedom and authenticity of self a reality in her every day life and interactions.
Conversational in several languages, excellent with children, an ADD musician, and cooking.
Jason Keffer
Jason Keffer is currently an aspiring intellectual with values around loyalty, honesty, identity and love. He wants to refine the way he communicates in order to articulate the world as it could be, and the institutions, laws, social constructs and human interactions it will take to make this world. This world is one that embraces man as he is, and seeks to support and value those live on it. I am a teacher by nature, and more intellectual than activist, but have a growing fierceness of belief in the world as it could be.
Good at cooking, math, good with children and teaching. Loves good conversation and good friends.
Anna Culver
Anna Culver is an artist who derives strength from deep interpersonal relationships. Anna experiences anxiety and low feelings of self-worth, but she values her vulnerabilities and uncertainties for their honesty and rawness. Anna believes that working against oppression requires naming an oppressor. She believes there is subversive power in authentic self-expression and loving relationships, even if the form of expression or type of relationship appear mainstream.
Anna's skills include classical violin, knitting, quilting, drawing, some ceramics, WordPress, and talking openly about emotions in personal relationships. She is interested in participating in and/or facilitating safe spaces where people can share their truth, via artistic outlets, shared activities, or open dialogue.
Matthew Bateman
Matthew Bateman, 21. Born and raised in Seattle and, with his love of travel, practically on a plane, Currently attending Willamette University and majoring in who-knows-what, though that's beginning to look like physics since his pursuit of a 'complex systems' undergraduate track was, well, overly complicated. He is interested in almost everything, but most specifically enacting positive change (putting his faith in the occasional cliche), art, mathematics, and English. He is seeking to improve his organizational and communication abilities, and to begin to enact any of his multitudes of projects pending the requisite time and focus.
Studying Chinese, student politician, bassoonist, traveler, homeless youth advocate, amateur masseuse, absolute nerd, and general troublemaker (no, seriously).
Chelsea Liekhus-Schmaltz
Chelsea Liekhus-Schmaltz is a physics student about to pursue a PhD at Stanford.

Physics, and science in general, are amazing tools of empowerment, and she wishes she could share this more effectively with others.
Specific skills: can program in various languages, trained to work in a machine shop, can work with AutoCAD etc -- various skills related to experimental physics.
