She just can't help herself! Ruby has been named the Public Allies North Carolina Change-Maker for 2005. Public Allies is an AmeriCorps program to encourage young people to be active in their communities. Ruby was a Public Ally way back in 1995, and is a real poster child for the prgoram.

Here's what Public Allies wrote about her in brief:
"Change-Maker Profile: Ruby Sinreich, North Carolina '95
Since apprenticing at The Women's Center as part of the Public Allies North Carolina class of 1995, Ruby Sinreich has been training community leaders to use the internet to mobilize for social action. In 2003 she founded orangepolitics.org to enable Orange County, North Carolina, residents to discuss progressive politics. "

Congratulations, Ruby! Well deserved as always.

Thanks Mark! It's really
