Andrew Slack

Andrew Slack founded The Harry Potter Alliance to harness the energy of popular culture toward civic engagement and social activism. The Alliance has inspired a network of over 1 million fans, created close to 200 chapters internationally, sent 5 cargo planes with supplies to Haiti, built libraries across the world, and continues to advocate for equality, media reform, and human rights.  USC has called Andrew’s approach “a premier model for civic engagement for the 21st century.” He’s written for the LA Times and CNN, been featured by NPR, Al Jazeera, the New York Times, Forbes.com, and has been applauded by JK Rowling in Time Magazine.
