Ben Affleck
Affleck founded the Eastern Congo Initiative and recently testified in Congress about the violence in the African region. He and Matt Damon campaigned for Elizabeth Warren’s successful Senate campaign in their home state of Massachusetts, and he has also volunteered for candidates such as Al Gore and Barack Obama. Although he has done fundraising for such campaigns, he is now an outspoken opponent of the increasing role of money in politics. His interest in politics inspired him to direct the Oscar winning Argo.
