"Recruitment"

One of the things I realized after the Chicano-Latino Leadership & Unity Conference was that I need a team (I've archived what I wrote about the conference to October). For those who've been involved in the ad hoc Team Ryan, as my mom calls it, I thank you. I hope you know how important you are to this community endeavor.

I ask you to keep one thing in mind as you read the list below: this is not a vain attempt for attention. My ultimate goal is to educate others about social justice issues along the border. One of the best ways to do this, for example, is to create a media stir and let them do the dirty work of publicizing the issues. Fulfilling other... positions will help me better manage my time and focus more on the people I meet.

Thank you. Anything you can do will help.
