Sam Daley-Harris is one of the great social entrepreneurs of the past few decades. He founded the anti-poverty group Results in the 1980s before going on to co-found the Microcredit Summit campaign in 1995 alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus. In 2012, he co-founded Civic Courage, which trains citizens how to advocate for the causes they believe in.
On this episode of Civic Genius, Daley-Harris talks about the importance of working with elected officials no matter what party they belong to, how to find a good organization worth your time, and a prayer that can get you out of a partisan jam.

The first round of voting begins in the re-run of Romania's presidential election after six months since the original ballot was cancelled due to evidence of Russian influence on the outcome. Then far-right candidate Calin Georgescu surged from less than 5% days before the vote to finish first on 23% despite declaring zero campaign spending. He was subsequently banned from standing in the re-rerun, replaced this time round by George Simion who claims to be a natural ally of Donald Trump.Getty Images, Andrei Pungovschi
