About Me:
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 Progressive Christianity, which is a great (and inclusive) theology to embrace if you are culturally inclined to be a follower of Jesus.
Now seems to be the time to promote consciousness of Sacred Activism, which is action rooted in and emanating from your sense of the Sacred.
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 political dialog. Think mom-n-pop shop politics rather than Big Box Superstore politics.
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. I know that Diana Nicholson and Christian have already blogged on the topic, so I won't. (much)

P.S. When I'm not activating social change, I might be making photographs. Check them out.
