Earlier this week, Deborah Avens, executive director of Virtuous Enterprises–a Grantee Partner of The Women’s Foundation–offered a blog post highlighting her take on the recent news around the economy.
Deborah explained in her post, "Why the Color Green Can Wake up a Nation," "’We must act now!’ are four words that have gained great momentum to bail out financial institutions (green giants) on the verge of bankruptcy or closure. These words have radically shaken the corporate giants and current administration from a deep sleep because they no longer see green, but red. The words, ‘We must act now’ did not gain its popularity from the failing financial institutions. These words have been quite popular among advocates that have been working to restore the vitality of our debilitating communities due to spiritual, economical, and social woes.
