Have you ever been so inspired that you jumped up off your couch and joined a social movement? Millions of Americans have cared enough to take a chance at changing the world. Ambassador Swanee Hunt and Hunt Alternatives created the Prime Movers fellowship program in 2005 to support leaders of such social movements in the United States. Today we announce the seven women and men chosen as our 2014 Prime Movers fellows who will inspire you next or may have already done so…
These new fellows join a powerful community, including Jim Wallis, Judith Browne-Dianis, Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Paul Rieckhoff, Rachel Lloyd,Rea Carey, Rinku Sen, Saru Jayaraman, and Van Jones. Prime Mover Ai-Jen Poo commented about her experience as a Prime Mover fellow, "Strategic support of leaders can be game-changing in the development of a movement, as they are a critical part of a movement's architecture. Creating a web of support and resources for leaders is an invaluable investment in movement-building."
