Inspired by Jody Williams' TED talk?

"One of the things that made this campaign work is that we grew from 2 NGOs to thousands in 90 countries, working together in common cause to ban landmines… It was the actions together of all of us that brought about that change. In my view what we need today is people getting up and taking action…" -- Jody Williams, 1997 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and ICBL Ambassador.
