2008 Prime Movers Fellows

We are proud to announce the selection of eight new fellows for the Prime Movers program. All our Prime Movers possess an unalterable commitment to social justice and a compelling vision of the cultural and political change they hope to advance on a national level.

These 8 fellows join 20 other social movement leaders who were selected in previous years. In their efforts to create a more just society, the fellows are all committed to engaging massive numbers of Americans.

Here are the newest Prime Movers.
