Joni Bishop
Joni believes Uploading change starts with you. If you can help one person for the better, you have done your work in creating social change on this earth. As individuals we lead by example. In other words, how do you choose to live your life? If you can be a good person in your everyday life, and do unto others as you would want done onto you, you're on the right track. She truly believes in the saying: you must stand for something, or you will fall for everything.

Danielle Norman
On her continued journey towards self-actualization, Danielle, realized, early on, her aptitude to be a helper and consequently, strives to lend a hand to whoever is placed on her path. During her career as a helping professional she’s developed a passion and a unique talent for connecting with young people. D believes that every child has the potential to actualize the true beauty within, yet realizes that this is not always the occurrence. Most specifically, the mis-education and over-sexualization of, adolescent girls concern her the most. The strength and compassion behind a genuine human connection is a powerful tool. The use of this connection to empower thought (and eventually change) is one of her personal aspirations.

AKA Ace has spent his quarter of a century on this planet refining his craft of observation. He began writing at the age of nine and has not stopped since. Throughout this continuous journey he has been a member of the band Biartz, with which he recorded four albums with and toured the country. He has also pioneered an unorthodox Hip-hop group called Phantasmatrash, with a forthcoming album "Gyrode" in tandem with its DVD collaboration with Geoclan brethren Frank Cardon. The two, with the help of Charlie Hu, seek to subvert and recalibrate the world's understanding of a power structure spinning out of control. Ace and Hu have been partners in crime ever since they met in 1997 while they were both attending Hunter College in NYC. Not only have they collaborated with auteur Cardon on the Phantasmatrash DVD, but they have also created a satirical right-wing radio talk show called "Straight Talk with Dingle and Raspberry," attacking the opportunistic men that tend to grace the writing of the two. Since the groundbreaking connection of the Geoclan family (Clayton, Will, Charlie, Tim, Rocco) in Cardon's biggest battle yet, Ace has found himself to be in the company of truly exceptional humans and constantly strives to further the goal of Geoclan, bringing a universal awareness to its audience through compassion, understanding, and respect. Whether we're tackling galleries in downtown NYC or PC's in Philly, the world community is being familiarized with our endgame. The people need to read to see what that is...

Courtstarski has been trying to speak out and be proactive about bringing change to our community for a few years. When he got involved with GeoClan he viewed the situation as an opportunity to share with others his perspective on issues that include politics, sociology, economics, and culture. By establishing relationships with others who share GeoClan’s vision of uploading change we can speed the process of gradual change collectively.
COURT is also from the 215, so his insight also stems from direct and indirect experiences which complement his research. Armed with a B.A. in History he is trying to take his levels of understanding to the next level as he opens his mind to all things that are true in essence. Some of his contributions can be found in the historical reflection and book review section.

 Understanding our world, its power structures, and how we can fight to break through existing barriers is a communal effort. Community is a bullhorn for the individual voice, and thus a tributary for an ocean of diversity and pluralism.
Kasia's often wordy, sometimes optimistic, and always-genuine articles are her monthly two-cent contribution to the community bank of knowledge and information that is geoclan. When she is not dreaming about social justice, she is studying the world and its people to make her present and future work more relevant and her dreams more vivid.

All he wants is the world to know that we are all God's Sons especially the youth. And when he says God Son, he means Jesus. Imagine a world were people respected and viewed themselves and each other as strong, wise and beautiful as Jesus. Peace!
