Bill Moyer is the Executive Director and co-founded the Backbone Campaign in 2003. Bill has had a dual and intersecting path as both an activist and artist. Bill's involvement with social change work stretches back to the 80's, when as a student he was deeply involved in the anti-nuclear movement, went to jail for civil disobedience actions as part of the Pledge of Resistance, lived at Big Mountain to assist Dineh (Navajo) elders refusing to relocate off their traditional land, and studied at the Institute for Social Ecology. Bill also brings his background as percussionist and sound designer to his political work, applying lessons of composition, performance, and pedagogy to the Backbone Campaign, a project he considers a kind of "theme and variation composition."
