Ted Lewis
	Ted Lewis directs the human rights programs of Global Exchange and is the founding Director of the organization’s Mexico Program. He recently initiated an education and advocacy project that aims to put the economic roots of Mexican migration at center stage of the debate over immigration and the future of North America. Ted has been an activist and educator since the late 1970’s, founding an international travel school and later doing pioneering work in conflict resolution and non-governmental election observation. From 1995 to 2002, Ted led Global Exchange’s human rights defense campaign in some of Mexico’s most conflictive states, coordinating the efforts of hundreds of long and short-term international volunteers. He led the largest international team of observers to the Mexican presidential elections in 2000, capping a six-year observation campaign at the state and federal levels that highlighted Mexico’s difficult political evolution. Drawing on his experiences in Mexico, Ted visited Iraq during the summer of 2003 to assist in the establishment of Occupation Watch, a rights defense program in Baghdad that was soon forced to close by growing violence. Since 2002 he has worked to build the U.S. anti-war movement. In 2004, Ted organized Fair Election International, which invited observers from five continents to examine and monitor the November 2004 U.S. presidential election in five key states. In 2006 he led three observation missions to Mexico during the disputed presidential contest there. He has been a frequent guest on Spanish and English radio and television stations including NBC, CNN, FoxNews, Telemundo, Univision, BBC, NPR, Pacifica, Link TV, and regional broadcasts.
