I've often been asked how I get so much done. Want to learn some of my 
secrets? Join me and my fiancee Jess Faulk, on July 8, from 6:00-8:30 PM, 
for a Socializing for Justice Productivity Tech Tips Skillshare.

SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share 
common values but may work on different issues. We host monthly socials 
that allow for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a monthly 
Skillshare Series, hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which increases our 
individual capacity for movement building.

OUR PRESENTERS <br>

Jess Faulk (<a 
href="http://www.twitter.com/jessfaulk" 
style="display:inline;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:none" 
target="_blank">@JessFaulk</a>) has been talking tech for over 20 years. 
Her very first computer (not counting her Atari) was a hand-me-down black 
and white Macintosh Classic. However, it was her Macintosh Performa that 
really made her fall in love with all of the possibilities that computers 
and the budding internet could bring into our lives. Since then she has 
developed an intense curiosity for new technology and how to make it useful 
in our day to day lives. Jess also has a strong interest in design, and 
tries to find ways to wed her love for graphics and tech (especially in 
designing infographics). Read Jess' blog at <a

Robbie Samuels (<a 
href="http://www.twitter.com/robbiesamuels" 
style="display:inline;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:none" 
target="_blank">@RobbieSamuels</a>) is often asked how he manages to do so 
much and still sleep. These tips are the answer. His non-stop schedule 
includes running 2 events a month for Socializing for Justice, 23 events a 
year for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders and 1-4 trainings a 
month "on the side". No wonder Boston City Council named his 
birthday "Robbie Samuels Day" in 2011! His very first computer 
was a Commodore 64 when he was in 3rd grade and he was hooked. Some thought 
he'd "go into computers", but instead he uses technology to 
enhance his life, increase his productivity and engage with his community.

and "Fundraising: Getting Past the Fear of Asking" at <a
