August National Call

Sam Daley-Harris, founded the anti-poverty lobby RESULTS and coached Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) its first 7 years. David Bornstein wrote in the New York Times: “Interviewing RESULTS and Citizens Climate Lobby volunteers, I’m struck by how many have had the same experience: a kind of revelation at the power they wield as citizens.”  Daley-Harris aims to provide our community with that same experience, clarity on the power we wield as citizens.

Sam Daley-Harris founded the anti-poverty lobby RESULTS in 1980, co-founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign in 1995 with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus and FINCA Founder John Hatch, and founded Civic Courage in 2012. Civic Courage helps non-profits transform their members into courageous citizen leaders and uses public speaking and the media to inspire Americans to engage powerfully with their democracy. Daley-Harris is author of Reclaiming Our Democracy: Healing the Break between People and Government,” about which President Jimmy Carter said, “[Daley-Harris] provides a road map for global involvement in planning a better future.” Ashoka founder Bill Drayton called Daley-Harris “one of the certified great social entrepreneurs of the last decades.”
