“Gone are the days when community leaders could gather a crowd, make an emotional appeal, and then step back and watch elected officials respond in a meaningful way”, Martire said. “Not only must nonprofit leaders make the moral case for systemic change, they have to be prepared to back it up with evidence.” How can community groups use data to drive justice?
