More powerful updates from the inimitable Robert Egger, founder of the DC Central Kitchen, and the V3 Campaign … which has been reborn as the even more awesome, and far more powerful CForward (a PAC aimed at endorsing and supporting political candidates who have a strong platform for engaging the tenth of the economy known as the nonprofit sector):
The nonprofit sector employs around 10 million people.
The sector engages another 90 million people as volunteers.
Collectively, the sector controls about 10% of the GDP. In Texas, the nonprofit sector employs more people than the oil industry.
And yet — none of the politicians asking for our vote have ANY plan for how to engage us, our creativity, our passion, our entrepreneurial spirit . . .
Not YET, at least.
Watch this video from CForward. Then join me in donating to support their work.

Click to learn more about the children's book I created for the North Texas Food Bank, which explains food insecurity to children who want to help others. Rather than emphasizing charity, the book integrates a participatory model that demonstrates how to engage those who suffer from hunger in co-creating an equitable community solution to it.
