About Luis:	Luis Hestres is the Online Communications Coordinator for 1Sky, bringing to the campaign more than 6 years of online advocacy and online communications experience. As the eAdvocacy Coordinator for Families USA, a progressive healthcare advocacy organization, Luis developed and implemented the organization's earliest online efforts. Most recently, Luis applied his skills to Capitol Hill, managing web and media operations for Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) and the House Small Business Committee. He also worked in public television for three years--first at MHz Networks, then at PBS--as a video editor, Web designer and content technologist. Luis has a BA in communications from the University of the Sacred Heart in San Juan, Puerto Rico, an MFA from American University in Film and Electronic Media, and a masters’ degree from Georgetown University's Communications, Culture and Technology program. He received a distinction for his thesis "Peace for Vieques: The Role of Transnational Activist Networks in International Negotiations," which he presented as part of a human rights panel at the 2007 International Studies Association annual conference. Luis is very excited to be part of the 1Sky team and to make a small contribution to solving the challenge of climate change.
