Sonia Arrison and Martine Rothblatt
Alan Feuer with the New York Times is ready to do a full-length article
on the Lifeboat Foundation. He wants something to "hang a story on",
like a conference or gathering, where he can "watch us in action".
To get us started, Sonia Arrison and Martine Rothblatt's Terasem
Movement have launched our next conference fund with $4,500.
