Last year, using the theme of gratitude and TweetsGiving, Epic Change catalyzed the global community to help build a school in Tanzania. The work they have done with Mama Lucy has been incredible and the school is now serving over 400 children. Just imagine. According to the LA Times, this year Americans alone will spend $14.6

I see this work in public maps like Open Green Map. Her students consistently score at the top of over 120 schools in the Arusha district of Tanzania. Mama Lucy is an Epic Change fellow, and has been an invited speaker at the European Summit for Global Transformation. I see this lesson in the work of 350.org.

The organizations get to do everything BUT drive: you are the vehicle, the gas, the map, the snacks even! Actions and messages were contextualized based on the issues and discussions taking place at both the global and local level. Quite the opposite. What does it look like? Obviously, we can all picture a car.

Since 2010, Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) and Candid have partnered on research that maps funding for human rights globally. Over this time, we have had a glaring omission: our research has not captured funding related to race or ethnicity, despite significant and global human rights work in this area.
