Egyptian organizer Alaa abd el Fattah speaks at the Personal Democracy Forum

Video of his presentation today. This is probably the best explanation of the Egyptian revolution around, plus it speaks to successful activism. No transcript but I'll see if one can be found or made. He talks about how Egypt was organized, how the process began with his parent's generation, the uses of technology and strategy. (And as he gave this speech, there was a demonstration in Cairo ongoing.)

If you aren't familiar with Alaa, here's an interview he did with Amy during the revolution.
