Seeds of activism

Re “Joining the Valley do-gooders,” So-Cal Life, March 12

I thank Eryn Brown for writing about her realization that there is an organized “small army” of people willing to invest the time and energy to preserve and protect neighborhoods and communities in the San Fernando Valley from overdevelopment and traffic. Teaching “How to Be a Community Activist” is akin to a gardener planting seeds with the hope that they all will sprout under the right conditions. That’s my planting plan for those in my class that day.
