I’m in Washington DC today to attend a meeting of the Independent Sector Public Policy Committee. Appropriately, the past week was marked by the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma and International Women’s Day. Have a listen to David Bowie‘s Changes while perusing our curated nonprofit tweets of the week:
