Change.org: What cause or causes would you most like to promote as a Changemaker and why?
Social innovation and entrepreneurship. We need new and innovative 21st century approaches to solving our social problems.

We need community engagement and out of the box thinking that breaks silos and engages all sectors.
To greater and lesser degree’s others have seen unique opportunities at transformative moments and reaped enormous attention for issues as well as truly creating real social change.
