A must for #socent, #impinv & #nonprofit professionals
So much good content and discussion about where we’ve been and where we’re going in the struggle for social justice. Deep weedsy discussions about, for example, upstream social strategies, housing first, peer support recovery, have helped me keep current and fine tune my own mission, vision and work.
