OneWorld.net's People of 2008: Nominate a Trailblazer Today!
Maybe it's someone who was working at the grassroots to bring change to their community or their country. Maybe someone working to improve governments' policies towards marginalized people. Or someone who raised issues that others were neglecting. It can be someone you know, or someone you just know about. It can be a person, a group of people, an organization, a corporation... you get the point. OneWorld.net's annual contest honors those making a difference in people's lives anywhere and everywhere on the p***t. The 2006 winner was Dr. Rashad Zidan, whose nonprofit group supports women working to hold families and communities together in war-torn Iraq. Last year's winner, Molly Melching, is helping communities phase out the practice of female genital cutting and solve other issues facing the people of West Africa. Other nominees have included the heralded and the unheralded -- from Al Gore and Burma's monks to the Asia America Initiative, immigrants' rights campaigners, the founders of Skype, and an Irish town working to wean itself off fossil fuels. Tell us who you think deserves to be recognized for their work this year. And thanks again for everything you've done to make OneWorld such a vibrant and inspiring community this year. Jeffrey Allen Managing Editor, OneWorld.net, United States PS - Please share this with friends and colleagues and help us spread the word by posting it to the blogs and email lists you read.

Tell us who should be OneWorld's Person of the Year and tell us why -- you might just see their picture on OneWorld's homepage come December. http://oneworldus.civiblog.org/blog/_archives/2008/10/29/3953379.html |
