"Rosa sat, so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. Obama is running, so our children can fly." - Ed Welch, quoting a text message from a friend, on NPR's All Things Considered 10/28/08

None of us have gotten where we are on our own. Some of those who have lifted us up are now household names; some names may be known only around your kitchen table, or written only in your heart.

The year-end holidays are traditionally a time of coming together, for forgiveness and sharing, but they also provide an opportunity to reflect, give thanks and honor the people who have made a difference in our lives. This holiday season, please take a moment and consider honoring by name someone who has inspired you to "fly" by making a tax-deductible donation of $35 to Brave New Foundation. In this video, the Brave New Foundation team shares which people and issues have inspired us.

Your contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar by one of our supporters, and will go a long way toward the completion of our state-of-the-art, hi-def video production studio. Brave New Foundation relies upon this studio to produce innovative online programming that takes an in-depth look at the pressing issues of our times.

* Meet the Bloggers: engages politicians, citizen activists and new media journalists in a lively roundtable discussion of current events.

* In Their Boots: examines the daunting challenges facing our returning Iraq/Afghanistan war veterans and their families.

* In partnership with The Nation magazine, we have produced This Brave Nation: a series of lively conversations with seasoned and emerging political activists.

* Diversity Fellowship: a cornerstone of our Foundation programming that is a year-long training program for young people of color in our game-changing model of new media journalism for social change.

@TWI08

Your right.

It is sad that the US like to kill so many people for oil.

[TWI08]

I would hardly call a genocidal maniac who promises to murder Afghan people in order to quell the hysteria of misinformed Americans integrity.

[TWI08]

You just keep blubbering about integrity, you ridiculous bastard while yet another American president wages a war of tyranny and genocide against an impoverished and long suffering nation.

I'd like to honour Steve Chang, for his impact upon my emotional, mental and financial state.

My Dad for being a good one - and having those skills transfer into teaching my own kids.

My Mom for her unconditional, unrelenting & everpresent love and support.

My Fiance, for simply being there to be found - for improving every aspect of my life through light and love.

And my students, for making me cry proud tears.
