Pitch #1:

Contributing to DC Abortion Fund

Why: Being able to be a programmer and an activist at the same time is important to me, and I feel like this project is an opportunity to do so. The leader of the project was a field organizer like myself, who decided to become a programmer.
What: Colin is going to send me a feature to start working on next week, but in the mean time I have asked him about some open issues that are bug and text fixes that are still open but people have done some work on.
I Need: to keep communicating with Colin and keep an eye out to see if any of the issues I commented on are things I can help with
When I'm Done: I will submit a PR! This is a project I'd like to continue to contributing to because of how easy it is for beginners to contribute.

Pitch #2: Faker Gem

Guidelines: Documentation of Practice/Actual Interview Participation

Directions: During Module 4, you've had a few in-class models and practice sessions for technical interviews. You may have also participated in mock interviews or actual interviews outside of these class sessions. Please write a summary and reflection of 4-6 sentences on your interview participation in a gist that you'll link in your career development deliverables file.

Suggested ideas to include in your reflection:

What happened in the interview/practice? The first half the the practice interview was a number of conceptual questions, after that I completed a technical challenge.
What are some best practices of technical interviews that you've discussed?

Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template

This deliverable needs to be submitted to Meg in order to have post-grad job search support from her.

Some things to consider:

What do you envision for your career?
What do you want your 2nd and 3rd jobs to look like?

	This project aims to look at harm reduction data from the [Global State of Harm Reduction](https://www.hri.global/contents/1739) report. In the 2016 election a number of candidates often spoke about addressing the opioid epidemic, this project would aim to show:

	* That stimulant injection is rapidly increasing and quickly outpacing the devestation of the heroin crisis
	* How often at least one politician brought this up on the 2016 campaign trail
