Being back to my old stomping grounds has been great. Although it has been about three years since I last worked at Gandhi Brigade, it feels like it was just yesterday. On Monday the 7th I got the opportunity to help Gandhi Brigade continue with tradition by kicking off the 2014 Social Justice Summer (SJS) project. SJS has been a part of Gandhi Brigade’s project offerings even when I was a young person working with a team to create one of my first productions ‘Second Chances’. It is a great feeling to come back to this organization in this way. This summer, seven promoters will have about a month to create three short digital stories that focus on the origin, impact, and future direction of Gandhi Brigade.Through this project the promoters hope to learn more about the history of Gandhi Brigade and the story of its founder Richard Jaeggi. I hope the promoters will see the value of Gandhi Brigade’s work and will be a part of its future as we drive our mission forward and continue to garner the much needed support from our community. Please join us August 29th

as we celebrate Richard’s life mission and showcase the projects we’ve worked on!
