Welcome

Hello, my name is Robbie Samuels. I've been called many things in the last 20 years: advocate, activist, ally, event planner, fundraiser, organizer - even Lavender Rhino - but writer was not one of them.

This site was launched to share all the abundance I've called into my life over the last 3 years - and I expect it will lead me to amazing new connections in the process.

Here's an outline of some of the (ever growing) list of topics I plan to share with you:

• 2010 US Census – mail it back!
• asking “why don’t i know about x?” instead of “why doesn’t x exist?”
• creating a cross-issue community, network & movement
• cross-issue organizing focused on the ven diagram of shared values/vision
  
• fundraising tips for grassroots, monthly donors, house parties & major donors
  
• gifts vs. needs
  
• inter-generational movement dialogue
  
• leveraging social media for social change
  
• movement and community building
  
• philosophy of abundance
  
• relationship building, social cohesion and social capital
  
• social networking and offering first before you ask
  
• solidarity work with feminists, people of color, queer/transgender communities
• what it means to be an ally

Please read my bio & resume page to learn about my community connections and experience.

Grip, grin & go,
Robbie
