Watching the streamed TED talks from Vancouver in a room filled with 500 other TEDx organizers from around the world is likely the BEST way to be at TED. I can't imagine a more intent, engaged, and idealistic group to spend time with. Imagine - each person has dedicated time and creative energy for the purpose of changing the world for the better. Without financial remuneration. I think this is where the energy for the future of TED is - folks who want to participate in their own communities, showcasing the best ideas they find, and connecting. This is one of the quick photos I took from the lobby area of St. Anne's Warehouse in Brooklyn, where we hung out for four days of TEDfest.

Katy Yam from TEDxMontreal described TEDx organizers' roles very well - they pay people in passion and culture. Though it's a strictly unpaid position, TEDx organizers get to practice and learn new skills, get connected to their community, and reach out to amazing people who have life-changing ideas, and help catalyze change toward a better planet by sharing.

A big idea that engages empathy to prevent tragedy.

***Every 15 Minutes Livermore***

On May 25th and 26th, the Livermore Police Department will be presenting the bi-annual “Every 15 Minutes” anti-impaired driving program to all junior and senior high school students in the City.

The Every 15 Minutes program is an intensive two-day program focusing on high school junior and senior students which challenges them to think about drinking and driving, personal safety, the responsibility of making mature decisions, and the impact their decisions have on family, friends, and many others.

The “Every 15 Minutes” program is designed to bring awareness to the fact that every 15 minutes in the United States someone is killed or seriously injured in a DUI related collision. The program is designed to replicate the loss of a family member, friend, or peer to a drunk driving collision.

The Police Department will be providing updates throughout the day on our department’s page. Our post specifically titled ***Every 15 Minutes Livermore*** will be posts directly associated with the program. We will be sharing pictures and videos of those kids selected to be victims of DUI collisions.

The Police Department will also be updating our Every 15 Minutes Livermore page, Twitter, Instagram, and SnapChat. This year, the Livermore Police Department has selected several students from each school to post to these social media websites videos and pictures they feel are important to getting the message out.

We invite everyone to share in the program by joining us on Facebook at Every 15 Minutes Livermore, joining us on Twitter at , viewing on Snapchat at e15livermore, or sharing via Instagram at e15livermore.

The associated hashtag that will be used throughout the event is
