Juan Reynosa, an organizer with 1Sky’s New Mexico is profiled in The Nation

If you talk to the 27-year-old community organizer Juan Reynosa, it
becomes obvious why the rhetoric of President-elect Obama mobilized a
record number of young voters. Similar to many of his peers, Juan is
tired of hearing what he calls the "endless gloom-and-doom scenarios."
When he organizes young people in Albuquerque or in his native rural
town of Habbs, New Mexico, he wants to talk about solutions and hope. He
doesn't dwell on polar bears drowning--he wants to talk about how young
people around the country are retrofitting old, polluting buildings,
putting on biodiesel-powered concerts and pushing their cities to
support municipal green jobs programs.
