Minnesota Travel Guide for Persons with Disabilities (Fridley)

2009-10-14T12:38:19-05:00

I'm looking to restart a non-profit organization that I started in 2000. I published the "Minnesota Travel Guide for Persons with Disabilities" in 2003 and I'd like to publish an updated, 2nd edition, but I need some volunteers, that might turn into paid positions in the future. I myself have a disability and it's hard for me to do physical things and that's where I need help. Mostly mailing, paperwork, filing, etc. Are you interested or do you know somebody who might be?

Just so you know that I'm not some weirdo, please feel free to visit my web site at www.accessminnesota.org

Thanks for considering my request!!

Work for the Environment!! (Minneapolis)

2009-10-14T12:24:13-05:00

Work for Change!!

Why is now the time to work for change?

Because we have a new president and new hope for a better America.

Because we need change like never before, on everything from the economy to climate change and more.

And because we know that the challenges we face, from ending our dependence on oil to winning the battle for equal rights, are huge, and the politicians and powerful interests who stupidly and stubbornly resist change aren't calling it quits anytime soon.

America's leading advocacy groups are gearing up to meet these challenges. In order to win, they need citizen support and grassroots action. That's where we come in.

At the Fund for the Public Interest, we've been organizing campaigns to protect the environment, stand up for the public interest, and defend human rights for more than 25 years. We've helped cut global warming pollution with Environment America. And working with the Human Rights Campaign, we helped organize the grassroots opposition needed to defeat the discriminatory Federal Marriage Amendment.

Your chance to make change happen.

We need people like you, lots of people like you, to go out in communities around the country and help make change happen. And you can earn money doing it.

We can do this if we build a lot of public support, and that�s why we�re hiring!
