Amelia Slayton: Better Brew for a Better World

Amelia dedicated seven years directly to the planet saving cause when she worked for Greenpeace. Her work involved fundraising, banner-making and eventually managing the Santa Cruz office. She claims that despite "participating in countless demos and actions, I somehow managed to never get arrested!"

Slayton also assisted in organizing Ruckus Society activist training camps. Coincidentally this author also participated in one of those camps. And I can attest that it is a serious beer drinking bunch! A kind brewery donated somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 cases of beer for the one week training camp and we polished it off with no problem. Activism is thirsty work!
