Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
I am a gay/trans-rights activist, spent high school forming a small private school's first Gay/Straight Alliance, & college canvassing neighborhoods for the HRC. I work hard to make sure my kids don't use/see labels --- which is incredibly difficult in the small, nearly-all-white Protestant town that I live in. I also spend a few evenings a week working for the United Way & their various fundraisers and volunteering at the various organizations that the United Way supports. I am an actress in a local theater company, and love the joy it brings to our audience members.
Why are you participating?: 

I've worked against labels my whole life. I hate that when people see me they assume things. I think it's wonderful that this project is working to make people see beyond what is in front of their face and into the person that lies beneath. Sometimes the labels are right.

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
Every summer I decide to dedicate my time to work with special needs children at a hospital. I love making them happy because at the end of the day I go home happy looking forward to waking up and doing it all over again !

Tell Us Your Good Deed: 
Every day I try to do a good deed, whether it's holding a door for a friend, or smiling at a stranger. For me, I feel like it is the small things that really matter. You never know when someone is having a bad day, and your simple action can turn everything around. Why stop at the little things though? I'm a huge believer in Community Service. My most recent project was to volunteer at a local elementary school. Just showing up, giving those kids something to laugh about, and being a presence, can make a big impact down the road.
Why are you participating?: 

I'm participating in the No Evil Project because I want to show that I believe in the good all around us. For me it is an honor to be part of this collection, as each person with me truly believes as I do, that it is the good things in life that we must focus on. Why focus on the negative?
