I came into contact with KWRU over a year ago through family members, and I’ve been doing organizing work with it ever since then.

I was on the convention’s Organizing Committee. The convention was a lot better than I expected, honestly. I had high hopes, but it was better than I thought.

We had a long discussion about the convention on our way back from Pittsburgh, and people are still discussing it every day. Mainly what we talked about is just how many middle-class working people there were out there who feel pretty much the same way we do.
