Shiny Things: immigration
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009/08/immigration.html
Friday, August 7, 2009. It's always easier to feel passionate about something when it directly affects you or someone you care about. The harshness of the immigration system is much clearer when you know the people whose lives are being disrupted and destroyed by it. When you hear abstract talk of immigration reform, remember that these are real people whose fates are being discussed, and we need to do something so that the human rights and dignity of every person are respected.

Shiny Things: July 2009
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. The year is ending. Yesterday was my last day of work! Today we're going off to our end of the year retreat (called Dis-Orientation). I'm in Houston until Tuesday, when I fly home. I'll be in Berkeley till Saturday the 8th, when I drive down to Aptos (near Santa Cruz) for my orientation. After that I'll be moving into my new home in Santa Clara and starting my work at Catholic Charities. A reading from Paul's letter to the Ephesians:. Spending 40-plus hours a week working with or...

Shiny Things: And time passes...
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-time-passes.html
Saturday, March 26, 2011. So apparently this blog thing still exists. Funny how the internet is sometimes. A year seems like a long enough pause, so I thought I'd write again. Hello world. Brief life update: I now have a paying job, an apartment, a TV, and a car. Yuck. What happened? Do people even read blogs anymore? This should probably be useful or informative or inspirational so as not to clog the internet tubes with unnecessary waste. March 26, 2011 at 10:05 PM. May 11, 2011 at 1:20 PM.

Shiny Things: May 2009
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2009. I meant to blog last weekend but never made it to the internet. Lots of fun and exciting things happening - it's really strange how little time I have left here in Houston. I don't have the time to write much since I'm at work right now (heh), but I just thought I'd check in and let the internet know that I'm still alive. Here's a photo from the vigil/rally for immigration reform we had here on May 1st:. Saturday, May 2, 2009. Vigil and rally for immigration reform. View my complete...

http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009/11/over-river-and-through-woods.html
Sunday, November 8, 2009. Over the river and through the woods. To grandmother's house we go! Well, more like over the ocean and through the mountains, I guess. This weekend my mom and I went to visit my grandma and aunt and uncle near San Diego. I left them with the promise to write more in my blog, so here I am, dispelling the myth that I disappeared after my first day of work. Played Scrabble, and went to my aunt and uncle's church. I have friends down there right now. View my complete profile. Other ...

Shiny Things: Happy New Year!
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html
Tuesday, January 5, 2010. One of my new year's resolutions is to start blogging more, so here I am! After a lovely and relaxing Christmas and New Year, I am back in the swing of things at work, and nearly all my roommates have returned home. On another Christmas-y social justice theme, this week is National Migration Week. As my friend Stephanie said, "Be nice to immigrants." Don't forget, young Jesus was a migrant too.

Shiny Things: June 2009
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2009. I had a great time at the Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ). Leadership Summit in New Orleans this weekend. It was my first time in New Orleans, and I love it there! It reminds me of San Francisco in some ways. Definitely a much cooler city than Houston. The conference was great. It was people from other worker centers, other groups (mainly of faith leaders) involved with IWJ, and members of the National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON). Also, support the DREAM Act. City Hall - ...

Shiny Things: Dramatic Action and the Movement to Close the School of the Americas
http://amberinprogress.blogspot.com/2009/11/school-of-americas-protest-and-vigil-is.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Dramatic Action and the Movement to Close the School of the Americas. The School of the Americas protest and vigil is this coming weekend. I won't be going (it's hard to get to Georgia on a JV stipend), but I will be doing a presentation about the SOA. To a church youth group in the area on Sunday. I was preparing for that presentation and went back to an essay I wrote for Digital Democracy (taught by David Silver. November 7, 2006. Durham: Duke Univ. Press, 2004. Hodge, Jam...
