Event Details

Featuring Jon Warnow and Jeremy Heimans

Between them, Jeremy Heimans and Jon Warnow have produced some of the most successful global social movement campaigns in recent years. Through the use of social technology they have moved millions to act their conscience. For our Net Change kickoff event, hear how Jon and Jeremy have applied the value of idealism to produce the world’s largest people-powered change campaigns.
 
A taste of Jeremy’s work: In 2007, Jeremy Heimans co-founded Avaaz.org, the world’s largest online political community with over 4 million members.  Whether Avaaz petitions are signed to stop the trade of women for prostitution or protest the dangers of genetically modified foods, the collective pressure has not gone unnoticed by global leaders.

A taste of Jon’s work: On October 24, 2009 the 350.org campaign saw 5,281 actions simultaneously occur worldwide, with thousands of participants calling for dedicated solutions and government action on the climate crisis. CNN called it “the most widespread day of political action in the planet’s history.”

Reception Included.
