English: Giving perhaps her last public speech as an Obama advisor.

On Monday, she trusted a British journalist to keep her comments off the record as she proceeded to call Hillary a monster who will stoop to anything. Moments ago, she resigned from the Obama campaign (from Reuters News)

At TED, she spoke of the need for an endangered peoples' movement. During the Rwanda genocide where 800K people were killed, the NYT asked Representative Schroeder about the U.S. inaction, and in a stark moment of candor, she said that hundreds of US citizens were calling about ape and gorilla deaths in Rwanda, but nobody was calling about the people.

Samantha Power argues that U.S. foreign policy is utterly broken and that the U.S. must return to a human rights-centric foreign policy or risk the scorn of the world community.

She said that today's student-led anti-genocide movement is larger than that which opposed Apartheid. With divestment pressure and a 1-800-Genocide phone link to your local representative, their goal is put pressure on the Bush administration to take action in Darfur.
