| “NPW has been a vital resource for smaller nonprofits such as 914United. Their network and professional development opportunities have been instrumental in our growth as a new grassroots organization. More importantly, NPW demonstrates in its practice the values of a communal-driven, power-systems disrupter: Access, Awareness, & Availability. NPW is always ready, willing, and able to support the causes serving on the frontlines of social justice reform.”Jonathan Alvarez |
