Presentation on advocacy

During the summer months some of you may remember that I announced that I was going to be giving a TEDx Peachtree talk in November on adult literacy advocacy. I asked for suggestions, and am thankful to the many of you who shared advice. I had promised that I would share the URL of the talk once it is available. They posted it a few days ago at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGad2PKUhbE

I just found out that one state's adult education professional association wants to use the video as part of a communication plan to use with state legislators-using fact sheets and videos to advocate for state funding. I told the person who contacted me that the video does not belong to me, but belongs to TEDx Peachtree and that I was told by the organizer of TEDx Peachtree that:

"Once the video is live on YouTube, anyone is free to share it via YouTube’s sharing options per Creative Commons."

Hi group users,

What a national treasure we have in Dr. Daphne Greenberg!  Her TEDx Peachtree video is a 'must' for everyone working with adults to watch.  I can see it as an integral part of professional development.program.

Kudos to Daphne ~ and thanks for sharing this with our group.

Hello Daphne,

I've just had the oppportunity to watch your TEDxPeachtree talk.  It's absolutely wonderfully done!  I love the TEDx venue for discussing important, innovative ideas in a local environment that then has the ability, through YouTube and other forms of dissemination, to expand, promote, grow and change into something greater than it first began. 

There is a recent push -- within the last year -- to facilitate TEDx Events within correctional facilities.  The events are orgnaized by inmates collaborating with outside community members and drawing on the many areas of expetise and talents of both the inmate polulation as well as prison staff, administrators, educators and outside community members.  So far Marion Correctional Facility in Ohio is the only U.S. based prison to successfully host an event (or rather, THREE events!)  It would be interesting to futher explore some of these intersections.
