CURRENT MISSION: To help build a movement in the U.S. for global solidarity and justice.

ABOUT ME: I'm living in New York City, but love traveling places and meeting new people. Read my bio here:

PHILOSOPHY: Adventures are wonderful, and so are relationships, so it's good to live life boldly, but listen to others, so that you can have adventures, but friends as well.

BIO: Isaac Evans-Frantz - New York, NY - leads Action Corps’ Yemen solidarity campaign.

Since then, he has mentored fellow Action Corps organizers, led member-level meetings with U.S. Senators and Representatives around climate change, war, and other matters of global justice. In the past year he played a key role in obtaining the support of House leadership for the Yemen War Powers Resolution to stop Saudi/Emirati bombing of the country. He organized rallies in front of Congressional offices in New York and California, supported Yemeni-American peace activists, and convened local and national organizations.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In CouchSurfing I'm new, but have participated in Hospitality Club, which is similar, and have really enjoyed it! As for my mission statement, I'm the director of a project called Action Corps, which started as a program of Oxfam America. Our mission is to champion justice for people most affected by climate disasters and violent conflict. I spend a lot of time organizing rallies in front of the offices of Members of Congress and then meeting with their staff. Right now working on a campaign to stop U.S. support of the atrocious war in Yemen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a wonderful person for a meal a few years ago through couch surfing, but I'm looking forward to my first stay in someone's home!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Standing on the Maine coast, looking out at the ocean crashing against the rocks, with my friend Cory (who's in my sideways profile picture with me).

Hearing Barack Obama's inaugural speech with my 11-year-old African-American and Latino students who had chanted, "Obama, Obama," in the hallways leading up to the election.
