We weren't on the agenda, but we made our plea for sex education to the Parma School Board and Administration Monday night! I could explain how it went, but take a look for yourself:


Danny (aka me)

and


Jelena Loncar, a fellow Parma Student.

This meeting was an amazing stepping stone for our future efforts in Parma. We got the meeting we asked for, and so much more:

Coverage on the story by awesome columnist Connie Schultz (who happens to be married to Senator Sherrod Brown):

WCPN, 90.3:

After nineteen months, it is our turn to be heard! Look forward to updates!

Go Danny! It is so amazing to see what you did - and I think that you're a real inspiration to everyone who needs to be reminded that advocacy is a process, not an event, and it can pay off to be patient :)

Your work and how you've done it will also be an amazing tool for other activists trying to change school policies! Thank you for dedicating your time to this and keep up the fabulous work!!

 So Awesome, Danny! GA Advocates are SO Happy for you, and a little jealous, too! 

And look at this! You are all over the place in the news! http://feministcampus.blogspot.com/2010/03/two-teenagers-after-my-own-heart.html

Go Danny and Jelena!! 

Love,
Anna
