Global Activism
In this ongoing collection of interviews, we showcase individuals with Chicago-area ties who are working to improve the world through grassroots efforts. We've profiled activists fighting at the local level in the global battle against HIV, campaigning for sustainable water use in Nepal and combating illiteracy in Brazil. Tune in on Thursdays to hear stories from the series.

Thanks to everyone who attended the 2008 Global Activism Expo. To learn more about this year’s participating organizations, you can download the Global Activism Expo Directory.[pdf]
