Ambassador Samantha Power, Human Rights and Democracy Crusader

Our next speaker has been named one of Foreign Policy’s Top 100 Global Thinkers and has twice been selected as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People. She was the youngest ever U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and is considered to be the moral compass of American diplomacy. Widely known for her 2003U.S. Ambassador to the U.N book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, she has been a powerful crusader for U.S. foreign policy as well as human rights and democracy since she took office in 2013. From 2013 to 2017 she served as the 28th U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, as well as a member of President Obama’s cabinet. President Obama has called her one of our foremost thinkers on foreign policy. Here to offer an urgent response to one of the pressing questions of our times, ‘What can one person do?’ we welcome Ambassador Samantha Power.
