Its participants included: Jessica Mathews, the former president of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace; Tom Pickering, a vice president Boeing and former undersecretary of state for political affairs; and Robert Silvers, the editor of the New York Review of Books.

New York Immigrant Family Unity Project (NYIFUP), the first government-funded universal representation project in the United States for detained immigrants facing deportation. Vera’s Center for Immigration and Justice has long championed the provision of counsel in immigration proceedings and is a founder of NYIFUP, together with the Immigration Justice Clinic of Cardozo Law School, the Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights, the Center for Popular Democracy, and Make the Road New York. Funded by the New York City Council and the New York State Assembly, NYIFUP provides representation for all indigent detained people in deportation proceedings at the Varick Street Immigration Court, and a portion of people at the Elizabeth, NJ; Ulster, NY; and Batavia, NY immigration courts. This innovative program increases the chances that immigrants will win their cases by 1,000 percent.

Bill Drayton founded Ashoka in 1980 based on the idea that the most powerful force for good in the world is a social entrepreneur: a person driven by an innovative idea that can help correct an entrenched global problem. The world’s leading social entrepreneurs pursue system-changing solutions that permanently alter existing patterns of activity.

In the meantime, Ashoka continues to grow, expanding its global network of leading social entrepreneurs in North America (it launched programs in the United States in 2000 and Canada in 2002), in the Middle East and North Africa beginning in 2000, and in Western Europe in 2005. Today, Ashoka operates in 93 countries on every continent, having elected more than 3,000 Ashoka Fellows worldwide.

I write as a scholar with more that 30 years experience in southern Nigerian studies to oppose the nomination of Dr.

Susan Rice as U.N. ambassador. While resisting Pickering's threats, Abiola collapsed and died literally at Pickering's feet – shortly after Rice had served tea.
