Bono on CNN: "Because people got out on the streets, and marched and spoke up 7, 6, 5 years ago, 20 million children are going to school in Africa that weren't before... we have to create awareness, we have to get into schools, the churches; then you'll really see the politicians standing to attention. they're not afraid of rock stars or student protesters, they're used to us. they're much more afraid of soccer moms and church people... that time is coming soon, when the social movements grow and are at the strength; i can see it happening in the United States and elsewhere... they wont need a rock star to represent them; The people's voice will be so loud..."

An effective movement needs real local groups everywhere, not just marches, money, and media.

And regarding the moms, I predict these moms will be powerful together.
