It’s funny how the squeaky wheel gets all of the attention.  The same can be said of when enough organizations or individuals let their views be heard.  The 2008 election of candidates for the various parties for President have shown three new voices making a difference.  Youth, African-Americans and Hispanics have been the voice not heard in the past.   Voices whom were generally marginalized in what they thought. 

Just as these once marginalized groups have shown their power and conveyed their voice, organizations do not need to stand by and accept business as usual.

Economically, nonprofits are a powerful group that has been marginalized even by some of its own group.  Organizations should join forces to redraw the economic impact in the minds of the public and government.  

Speak out and be heard on Health Care. 

Speak out and be heard on Housing. 

Speak out and be heard on a Living Wage.
