PRA Bids Farewell to Tom!

Tom Louie, who has led Political Research Associates' communications and fundraising department for four years, is leaving us. Tom brought his experience in immigrant rights nonprofits and as a leader of the Progressive Communicator's Network to his work here, showing off his ability to keep a lot of balls in the air at the same time. Among his accomplishments were editing this newsletter, building general appeal income, and organizing events around the country in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

Tom also launched the Jean Hardisty Legacy Fund, which raised over $105,000 in its first year. He put his talents to work in promoting PRA's Activist Resource Kits, Defending Justice (about prisons) and Defending Immigrant Rights, which organizers relied upon at major trainings.

Tom is a generous colleague who, no matter how harried, always managed to help when a desperate coworker called! He will be missed.
