[Rfu-barnraising] Re: [hannahjs@babel.serve.com: hi zoe, hannah from prometheus here]

[faith swords]

One of people volunteering to house people at her apartment (Suzanne 
Linder) also teaches at University High School. She teaches a Social 
Justice class (it's kind of like a practicum -- we have a bunch of people 
in this class doing work with Food Not Bombs right now). She might be a 
good person to start with.

Her email is suzanne.linder at gmail.com
