Why Social Movements Require Entrepreneurial Values
Blue Avocado
From our beginnings more than ten years ago, Swipe Out Hunger was designed to be anything but a traditional charity. Rather than running the same program each year, we learn and adapt our work—from acquiring other nonprofits to writing legislation that moves us closer to actually ending the issue of college student hunger. While more and more in our sector push for real systems change, here are three practices that could advance your justice work.
