http://nonprofiteer.net/2008/05/06/advocacy-and-its-costs/ Nonprofits Without The Nonsense--and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:07:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://nonprofiteer.net/2008/05/06/advocacy-and-its-costs/#comment-667 Wed, 07 May 2008 20:14:25 +0000 http://nonprofiteer.wordpress.com/?p=456#comment-667 I think it’s shameful that the donor bullied the organization into backing away from an appropriate action. If we allow ourselves to be so fragmented in the way we define and try to address problems we’ll never make any progress in resolving them. How can a group struggling to feed increasing numbers of poor families not be concerned with exploitive practices that take advantage of their desperation, further impoverish them, and render them less able to care for themselves. As the Nonprofiteer suggests, perhaps it’s time to go beyond charity and turn to government’s willingness to care for those without a living wage.
