As we gear up for the Global Activism Expo 2011, Jerome is joined in studio by Marc Gold, founder of 100 Friends.  His organization will be at tomorrow’s event.  Marc collects donations from about 100 people each year and personally distributes the money to people he thinks need it the most. He’ll give  us an update on several new projects that he’s involved with. And we’ll find out more about the panel discussion that he’ll be taking part in at the Expo called “Picking Your Passion.” It takes place at 3:00pm.
