Western States Center incubated PLAN in 1993-4, and we've been close allies ever since. The Center's success in building leaders in Nevada and throughout the west has been a huge boost to our movement. Thanks for all you've done and happy 21st!

I got to go to CSTI because someone I was working on a project with recommended me. I almost turned her down because I thought I should let someone who has not had as many opportunities as I have go. Then I read the program. Forget that! I said sign me up.

I have many good memories and stories that I could share in relation to Western States' amazing trainings and programs, but the one I will focus on is my very first community organizing. It was a 2 or 3 day introduction to social change organizing led by the Western States staff. I was at that time a volunteer doing assorted odds and ends for the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.

21 years, easy to say but... Escribir en español entre organizadores del NW es un gran logro obtenido gracias al apoyo de ustedes. I will never forget how comfortable all the Western States Center staff made me feel back on 1996.

A number of years ago, the Western States Center asked me to join Eric Ward to do a workshop at CSTI on the Arab/Israeli conflict. As a Jew who opposes the Occupation and the Israeli settlements, but who was also concerned about apologists for antisemitism among progressive colleagues, I found it a really scary prospect.
