Richard Schmidt

<p>I am a concerned citizen of Spokane and the world at large.</p> <p>I am a member of Occupy Spokane, and am involved in the work of several other community action groups such as Envision Spokane which seeks, through the initiative process,&nbsp;to amend the Spokane City Charter to include a Community Bill of Rights, based in part on the work of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund.</p> <p>I graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1994 with a Bachelor's Degree with a dual major&nbsp;in Philosophy and Humanities.</p> <p>Like many people, I care very much about the future world that my children and grandchildren will inhabit, but I&nbsp;want to see positive changes made in my lifetime, not just hope that they will occur.</p> <p>To that end, I have chosen to spend the rest of my days doing what I can do to help.&nbsp; With a lifetime of experience and an extensive education, I believe I have the foundation to effect change myself as well as mentor those younger than I in ways to make positive changes.</p> <p>I believe whole-heartedly that attending the LocalizeThis! training camp will enable me to acquire useful tools that I can share with other activists here in Spokane, and we can then raise awareness and enlist the support of other local citizens, in making Spokane a better place to live and by extension take a step in making the world a better place as well.</p>
