Sandy Rosenthal featured in The Atlantic
Recently Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal was featured in a piece by Nicholas Jackson, associate editor at The Atlantic, the official site of The Atlantic Magazine.

Sandy Rosenthal was interviewed as part of a series entitled “9 1/2 Questions” for which she answered a range of questions about her work, her attention to tiny details, the movement towards open data, and how astroturf groups are sabotaging the efforts of true grassroots workers.
