Let’s play a little word association. When you hear the word “Africa,” what do you think of? My personal word choice – as someone who has yet to visit the continent – would be “safari” or “elephant” or “poverty” (I started the game so I get unlimited choices.) I asked Adam Finck, our Director of […]

I am writing this as someone who had never taken part in lobbying before (#lobbyrookie – hi, I’m Krista, nice to meet you.) And now, after experiencing LOBBY:DC along with the hundreds of people who showed up to meet with their members of Congress, I am still reeling from the amazingness of it all.  The […]

With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Summer Dale who passed away last Sunday. We were honored to be part of her story. ____________ Summer Dale seems like your average teen: she attends high school, loves animals, and her favorite hobbies are photography, modeling, and horseback riding. But what’s not average about her: she’s a […]

Today the United States celebrates Veterans Day – a day set aside to honor all U.S. armed service veterans and ensure that they know we deeply appreciate the sacrifices they have made to keep our country free. “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of […]

The Logistics League has arrived in Washington DC to begin the mounds of preparation for MOVE:DC this Saturday (I just made up the term “Logistics League” – they’re probably wondering when the heck we decided to call them that.)

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, people from all over the world are assisting the victims in any way they can. It’s […]

Hurricane Sandy’s tragic impact – more than 113 people dead in the U.S. and perhaps $50 billion in economic losses – is a poignant reminder of the immense and complex power of nature. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the storm, and we wish you peace of mind as you begin […]

Are you a planner? So are we. Below is the schedule* for MOVE:DC (oh that rhymes!) If you haven’t registered for MOVE:DC yet, the planner in you is failing horribly. Register here and we’ll see you at the nation’s capitol. *Subject to minor changes but we aim to stick to the plan. Because we’re planners, […]

Here’s the good news: if you can’t make it to MOVE:DC, you can help send a group of people who can. We know that it can get expensive to head out to Washington DC, especially when it’s on short-ish notice. We don’t want money and/or transportation to hinder people from attending the event which is […]
