The JobRaising Challenge: Seizing the Moment to Help Put Americans Back to Work

Last September, we chose to seize the moment of the political conventions to launch our JobRaising Challenge, tapping into the job-creating potential of nonprofits to raise money, raise awareness, and help put Americans back to work. Today, as President Obama is sworn in for a second term, we're seizing the moment to take the Challenge to the next stage. In doing so, we want to continue to put the spotlight on an ongoing jobs crisis that has left more than 25 million Americans unemployed or underemployed -- a crisis that transcends the outdated left vs. right way of thinking that dominates our politics.
