Favourite Activist(s): Geoffrey Canada
Here's a suggestion from my friend, Kyo:
I vote for Geoffrey Canada. While Geoffrey Canada's experiment with solving poverty in Harlem has not yet come to full fruition, and has hit some tough spots already, the fact that he convinced donors (and continues to) to support a comprehensive support and service package from PRE-NATAL to college is incredible. He was able to get folks to focus not on bits and pieces of the puzzle, but the whole maze of social services (including a baby college for expectant and new parents).
Connect to Geoffrey Canada and the Harlem Children's Zone.
