About This Project: Acknowledgments

HearUsNow.org is extremely grateful for the vision and support provided by the Ford Foundation.  Without the generous contributions from Ford, along with significant assistance from the Open Society Institute, this site would not have been possible.

HearUsNow.org would also like to acknowledge the assistance provided by Aliza Dichter and Catherine Borgman-Arboleda, of the Center for International Media Action.  As consultants, CIMA helped recruit the HearUsNow Advisory Board, assisted in writing and research, and helped HearUsNow in building a broader grassroots community.

HearUsNow.org would not be possible with out the hard work and dedication of:

• Beaconfire Consulting
• Carlyn Cerniglia of CarlynCerniglia.com
• Kristan Van Hook and Associates
• Liz Rose
• Dr. Mark Cooper of Consumer Federation of America
• Alex Curtis of Public Knowledge

HearUsNow.org owes a special debt of gratitude to the long hours and hard work of Consumers Union and Consumer Reports staff, including Bob Williams, Jennifer Fuson, Jeannine Kenney, Ellen Bloom, Gene Kimmelman and Morgan Jindrich.
