Video I produced for the Texas State Library and Archives Commission’s latest exhibit, Texans’ Struggle for Freedom and Equality which offers visitors the opportunity to view documents and images integral to Texas’ social history, illustrating the heroic efforts of early Texas settlers, the consequences of Indian and Mexican conflicts, demands for civil rights for African-Americans and Tejanos and the campaign for women’s suffrage.

Campus Vote Project educates young people and students on the importance of voting and helps to remove barriers that they might face on college campuses. CVP provides resources and information to help students register to vote and ensures access to other important election related materials.

I was fortunate enough to preside over the Civil Union Ceremony of my friends Fred and Peter following the State of Illinois’ 2011 decision to recognize same sex partnerships. The status of their union was recently recognized as a marriage by means of a law signed on November 20, 2013 by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn that took effect on June 1, 2014.

Brief: I was approached by the advocacy department of the Archdiocese of St. Louis to design a campaign to help raise awareness of the deportation and separation of immigrant families in the city of St. Louis and the State of Missouri and to promote the passage of comprehensive immigration reform. As part of the first phase of the campaign, collateral was created to be used as mail action pieces to be signed by parishioners and sent to key decision making legislators in Washington D.C. The second phase of the campaign will include additional print materials and an art installation on Cherokee Street, the thriving epicenter of multicultural St. Louis.
