It feels weird that this experience is already half over. These last 6 weeks have absolutely flown by. I have loved getting to experience the city as well as both opportunities offered by the Foundation and Equality. This week I distributed flyers for our legal clinic throughout parts of Columbus and am hoping to get more through the next couple weeks.

Some projects I have been working on include political mapping of cities, examining websites to see how we could improve ours, creating an educational slide show, and distributing information. All these projects are ongoing, so this week has just been working through those. Some staff will be going to Equality’s national conference, as well as some are balancing time, so this month there is a lot of people in and out at different times.

This week I also met with some prospective students for the John Glenn School at Ohio State to talk to them about my experience as an OSU student as well as someone involved with the political scene in Columbus. It was really cool to talk with excited and motivated kids. Some are interested in volunteering with my organization and it felt nice to introduce them to Equality.

At this point In my fellowship I feel as though I am in the grove of things and just working on projects with the goal of getting all of them done by the next week so I can take on more things. I hae really enjoyed all the different things I have worked on. I have done a lot of different things for Equality and really enjoyed all of them. I am excited to keep trying new things and continuing to learn about organizing, local politics, and education.
