Q: Any cool stories about your involvement with STAND in the past?
A: One of my favorite events that I have ever participated in with STAND was GW STAND’s Peace for Congo Rally in November 2011. Rallying around the White House with so many people and listening to the speakers who joined us that day was such a powerful experience. I loved working with our amazing partner organizations, even when that included trying to find tour bus parking on GW’s campus. Also, getting to use the megaphone was a ton of fun.
