Since I "retired" in the late 1990's, I've spent full time volunteering for Democratic candidates at local state, and Federal levels. I spent 12 years on the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee, 6 years as Director of Region 6 of the California Democratic Party (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties). I've served as a delegate to the California Democratic Party since 1994. I've spent the past six years as the "Community Member" of the Board of Directors of the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley. I've spent the last four years on the Board of Directors of the ACLU-Berkeley, North East Bay Chapter, working on issues like immigration reform, abolition of the death penalty, police practices, need for reform of the "War on Drugs", and its adverse impact on racial minorities.
