One final, unforgettable moment from last week’s CGI meetings in New York… In CNN interview, President Clinton calls the Fair Food Program, “brilliant,” adds, “You’ve got a success model, and you ought to put the pedal to the metal…” Last week’s ceremony at which the CIW was honored with the 2014 Clinton Global Citizen Award was a night that will not soon be forgotten.  But the three days that followed the award ceremony — the actual business end of the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting — were every bit as exciting.  Here’s a thumbnail summary of the week from the Rev. Noelle Damico, a longtime CIW ally who witnessed the scene at the Times Square Sheraton firsthand: The CIW’s model of worker-driven social responsibility, operational in the Fair Food Program, electrified not only the award ceremony but the entire conference. President Clinton described the CIW’s Fair Food Program as “the most astonishing thing politically happening in the world we’re living in today.”  The array of world leaders from business, government, the arts, foundations, and NGOs was astounding — and the excitement around the model was palpable from conversations in the hallway to tweets.  The CIW and the Fair Food Program were at the center of this incredible vortex of connection and conviction expressed during the CGI.  The video at the top of this post conveys just how fully the CIW’s work captured the imaginations of those who attended the conference, from President Clinton himself on down.  The clip is an excerpt of a CNN town hall meeting filmed on the CGI’s  final day during which the Emmy Award-winning actress, anti-slavery activist, and former UN Goodwill Ambassador Julia Ormond (right, with microphone) asks a question from the audience of the panel headlined by President Clinton.... Take five minutes to head over to the CIW website and check out the full video of President Clinton on the Fair Food Program -- you’ll be glad you did!
