Editor's Note: Bill Shore has been a hero to me for over 25 years. Since its start, Share Our Strength has invested $376 million to food banks and emergency food assistance programs around the US. KaBOOM is a bit younger (1995) and does similar transformational work promoting health and exercise for the 16 million poor children in the USA. Together in this article from SSIR they give some great tips about how to build cause. It upsets me to now realize that our 16 million children living in poverty was less than 12 million only 13 years ago and yet during the same period the number of billionaires in the US went from 500 (worth about $1.8 trillion) in 2000 to 1,400 billionaires today who hold $5.4 trillion of our nation’s wealth. No wonder the movement to address the disparity of wealth is growing. A deep bow to the writers for leading those who fight for the voiceless in what appears sometimes to be a losing battle, but because of their work and others will always remain a noble cause.
