PROTEST The Gates Foundation When: June 26th 5PM Where: Rally at Westlake Park (401 Pine St, Seattle) March to Gates Foundation (440 5th Ave N, Seattle) Our schools are under attack from the mega rich who seek to reduce education to standardized test scores while busting unions & denying at-risk youth a rich and holistic school experiences.

"Rob Kall's book, Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution has really caused me to relook and reframe many of my thoughts on where our connectedness using social media tools like LinkedIn is headed, and not just for career trajectory but for life.
