Stoney Bird has devoted the last twenty years of his 78-year-old life (he turned 78 four days after he broke his neck) to being in service to planet earth, social activism, and dismantling the corporatocracy. He volunteered thousands and thousands of hours in community organizing, public transportation, and political campaigns for nature and human rights, and peace demonstrations.

His current attention was focused on establishing public banking and ranked-choice voting. He gave away his car in 2002 and has ridden his bicycle, walked, and used public transportation since. He lived a modest and frugal lifestyle, rarely buying anything at all let alone new things. He was a kind and generous man who had been blessed with an incredibly strong will to survive and thrive. 

He was the Green Party of Washington candidate for Congress in 2018.
