These past few days have been full of firsts for me; my first metro north ride, my first blogpost, and most importantly hosting my first Young People For Brown Bag Lunch!

Congratulations Julianna! But other people read this too...

First, congratulations to Julianna for being this year YP4 Ambassador. You're well deserving of the honor to represent YP4.

But more than that, now you and your team have a glimpse of what it's like to run a campaign.

Running campaigns, raising money, organizing people, and building the progressive movement is hard work. It's not for everyone. I mean, who really wants to spend all night working on posters or fliers for little or no pay just to get your message out to change a few people's minds.

Well, you. You do. And I need your help.
