This is a most amazing story on so many levels.

Encouraging everyone to sign up for this important webinar with a stellar set of presenters. We all need to understand how fair and just tax policy is key to ending the wealth gap and income inequality.

Nonprofits must focus on this, in addition to all our other work.

This will be an excellent and practical webinar about all the things nonprofits can do to help have an impact on an election. https://calnp.memberclicks.net/index.php
