My name is Dave, I'm 58 years old, married with three daughters , one grandson and a grandaughter on the way. Though I live in the Bitterroot I have been a community organizer in Missoula for ten years, starting with CAJA, then The IWW, then the Listening Project, now the Wed. Night radical Culinary Club (Zoo Zaps) and #OM. While my politics are radical, revolutionary socialist, I worked many years with progressive groups like Trout Unlimited, Mt. Conservation Voters, Bitterroot Water Forum etc trying to make incremental reform work. I even worked on election campaigns.
None of it is doing enough with the limited time left. Now I am resolved to critique and attack the basic structures which perpetuate inequality and oppression, especially the capitalist economic system. Wish me luck!

Thanks comrades. I forgot to mention I spent many years working on ranches and in logging and in construction (mainly log houses) while raising a family and I have been a trout fishing guide for the last 25 years. The 1% (metaphorically) are my clients. They live in a whole different universe but not for much longer.
