About Me

I'm currently working full-time on Films For Action, a non-profit organization that works to support the people working to change the world. Our current projects include regular documentary film screenings and the continued improvement of the Films For Action website. Over twelve months in development, we launched V. 2.0 of the website in November of 2010.

Our site features over 950 online videos hand-picked to provide people with the information, perspectives and ideas essential to creating a more just and sustainable future - an excellent resource to dive in to and share with your friends. We hope you'll join us.

You can stay current on our Lawrence, KS chapter by joining our Facebook "group."  And you can join our international "Page" for all non-local updates.

If you'd like to get involved with our day-to-day organizing or would like to help out with the project in any way, feel free to shoot me a message. We'd love to have your help, your enthusiasm, and your ideas!

If you have any questions about adding videos, re-published headlines, original articles, or actions, feel free to shoot me a message. You can also find me here: http://www.facebook.com/hjersted
