The RAN Supporter

So what does the average RAN supporter look like? Unlike other organizations who claim to be grassroots while spending most of their time courting deep pocket funders, RAN has a few people who more closely resemble the average American.

Jeff Tiller, a student from Virginia Commonwealth, just sent in a few of his remaining dollars to RAN. Here’s what he had to say.

“I just dropped $10 to RAN. I’d give more but I only got $33.18 in the old bank account. “

Wow. If that’s not grassroots support I don’t know what is. Mr. Tiller, a big thank you from the RAN staff keep up the great work. Know that with donations as personal as this not a cent will bee wasted.

After a lifetime on the East Coast and getting stuck in the Midwestern suburbs of Chicago and northern Michigan I'm finally on the West Coast in the always cool and never hot city of San Francisco. Japhet worked for various outdoor organizations before becoming a member of Howard Dean's webteam (a lowly online organizer) in Burlington, Vermont. Afterwards, he continued his election work with America Coming Together in Madison, Wisconsin where he helped increase voter turnout to the highest in state history. Now, coming back to this environmental and corporate ethics roots, Japhet is excited to put his skills to use for Rainforest Action Network.
