There are many creative solutions being proposed, but any solution must begin with the person affected at the center and not the bank. “What will help this woman and her dog stay in her home?” is a very different question from “What should a bank do with a person who can’t pay her mortgage?” The first step in transforming this economy is to ask entirely different questions.
Evidence of Change: Exploring Civic Engagement Evaluation
This report summarizes the recent efforts of the Building Movement Project, the Alliance for Children and Families and the Ms. Foundation for Women who came together to respond to this call for methods and tools for measuring the impact of social change work.

This report looks at nearly a dozen examples of organizing efforts rising to scale and adapting to the urgent challenges and political opportunities at the beginning of the 21st century.
