Are we change-makers, or are we chain-breakers? That is the question I have been challenging my team at the Dyslexia Tutoring Program to sit with this year. Both have their purpose in this work. But policy is how we break chains. I just completed the Aspen Policy Academy Building Nonprofit Advocacy Capacity program, alongside 56 other nonprofit leaders, learning how to build the kind of advocacy strategies that turn intent into impact. The week clarified for me what I already suspected — chain-breaking is not incidental to literacy work. It IS the work. Looking forward to bringing this back to my team. #NonprofitLeaders #Advocacy #PublicPolicy
Heavy on CHAIN-Breaker. I have found that change can change back. We need things to break and start a new.
