Social movements - a primer: Toby Chow at TEDxUofIChicago

Toby Chow is a leader in SOUL and IIRON, local community organizations working for social justice. Through these organizations, he has been active in campaigns for corporate accountability concerning workers' rights and Wall Street abuses, as well as campaigns for greater investment in the common good and against budget cuts at the state and federal level.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
