Micro-Lending with Kiva; DFA-List goes to Monroe County, Indiana (DFA Radio preview)

Written by: Lewis Miller on Sep 18, 2007 8:44 AM EDT

Please join us for another engaging and informative show tonight on DFA Radio. Scheduled guests are:

• The latest DFA-List candidate, Isabel Piedmont for City Council Bloomington, Indiana. Piedmont is running for Bloomington City Council with the backing of Democracy for Monroe County and Democracy for America. Isabel is a true grassroots activist, a regular attendee of her local DFA Link-up events, and a May graduate of the DFA Training Academy in Bloomington. Read about Isabel's DFA endorsement here on Blog for America, and then tune in to tonight's show to hear more.
• Fiona Ramsey, Public Relations Director at Kiva.org. Kiva empowers individuals to help the working poor in the developing world with micro-lending. Loans as low as $25 can be made to qualified small businesses in countries from Mexico to Iraq, with repayment in 6-12 months. Get involved and call in with your micro-lending questions on tonight's show.

As always, we'll take calls from the DFA community. Tune in to hear your fellow DFA members, or call in & let us know what's on your mind.

If you missed last week's program, we interviewed Bob Gulack about the World Trade Center dust contamination problem (read his statement at Ground Zero, and take action at 9/11 Environmental Action), and former Naval Commander & Congressional Candidate Eric Massa about Iraq. You can still listen to last week's program before tonight's show. Just visit the DFA Radio page on Democracy for America's website.
