Gateways To Action is a blog featuring artistic and cultural activities on the defining lines of positive global change, often ignored or under-reported by mainstream media.

My focus is on projects, individuals and stories that foster democratic freedom in distinctively creative ways. I interview or write about leaders of today and yesterday, making a significant impact on society, and I explore the creative process that drives them to fulfill their goals.

The topics are in alignment with core values articulated in the International Declaration of Human Rights and the American Constitution.

The mission is to bring more public attention and energy to creative arts and freedom-related activities.
