When Jacob and I knew we were to head to NYC as part of the Police Accountability Tour we contacted a number of folks on the ground that we hoped to connect with, including Luke Rudkowski, founder of WeAreChange.org. On Wednesday, Aug. 21st Rudkowski joined us at our event and afterward, on the streets.

Rudkowski is the epitome of a journalist. He’s passionate, truth-seeking, and is working to create a better reality. Through the lens of his cameras and the sharing of ideas, he’s definitely having a positive impact.

I hope you can learn from Rudkowski – both in the use of technology to shine a disinfecting spotlight on those who claim a “legitimate” right to initiate force, and in the positive attitude that he encapsulates.

Connect with Rudkowski & We Are Change

A year ago I crossed paths with Rudkowski in Washington, DC when at the Lemonade and Raw Milk Freedom Day in Washington DC.
