I'm Planning A Road Trip

Looking For Suggestions

November 2014

I'm planning a USA road trip. I want to go to Columbia University and meet the young woman carrying her mattress around campus in protest to her rape. Then I want to go to Westboro Baptist Church to talk to some of those church members, then on to Ferguson, Missouri and then to the Texas border where the young Mexican children are crossing the border. Then I want to go to LA to the section of the city where hundreds of homeless live. Then I want to go to Slab City which I think is in NV. Have I missed any other points of conflict in our country?

  I'm thinking you should make a video diary. I would be more than willing to help you produce this project should you choose to do so.

  Fabulous trip! Every city sadly has thousands of homeless children. Sacramento is a city where runaways sleep under the freeways. When are you doing this?
