Thindwa was also profiled this week on Bill Moyers Journal.  Read the transcript or watch the video here. 

 

The style, content and the objectives of the sort of coimmunity organizing done by on the ground organizers like Thindwa contrast sharply with the foundation directed activities engaged in by current and former "organizers" in the style of the current occupant of the White House.
