Working for Social Justice with Social Change Philanthropy - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active and engaged democracy.: While going through some old files, I encountered one of my original print "newsyletters" from July 2004, which was devoted to social justice.

I’m concerned about the growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots in America. And for me, that’s a social justice issue. I believe that progressive public policy is co-opted each day. And that, too, is a social justice issue. I see rampant social injustice—and that breeds a sense of hopelessness. But I know that you and I can make a difference through social change philanthropy.
