Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept: 'Fan of [Petrelis'] Activism!'

Yesterday afternoon, American journalist and whistle-blowing confidant of Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald tweeted info and screengrabs of donations from Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner to top Democrats.

I retweeted Glenn's note urging him to follow the Democrats' money.

He soon replied, "I've been a fan of your activism since law school in NYC! Glad for the opportunity to tell you."

Needless to say, I was quite touched by his kind words. Told him I hope to one day meet him, perhaps when he's honored by the San Francisco Pride organization.

As a government transparency activist and gay man, I'd like to see him receive accolades from the LGBT community. That is why today I began researching how to nominate him to be a grand marshal of the 2017 SF Pride celebration.

I'll keep you posted on what I learn.

Thank you, Glenn, for your incredibly brave and necessary journalism and advocacy. Your support of my activism means much to me.

Onward to more government sunshine domestically and globally!
