So proud of my friend JoAnn. Her energy and commitment to fight for democratic values is very inspiring and contagious. In these times it would be easy to just put our heads in the sand and be grateful we live in a beautiful and relatively open minded community. JoAnn reminds us all that it is our civic duty to fight for the rights of all our citizens, no matter where they reside in our country. She has the heart of a lion and the generosity of soul that is a gift to us all. You rock JoAnn!

JoAnn Loulan's energy and commitment and fierceness cannot be matched. She supports her friends, her causes, her candidates and humanity with ferocity, good humor, and optimism. She proves that one person (and her tireless husband) can change the world. Inspiring!
