How to Save America From a Human Rights Meltdown

Description:

Most donations in the U.S. go to mega-charities. But often it’s small grassroots organizations that are truly transformational. The Innocence Project, started by two guys at a law clinic, exposed massive flaws in the justice system. Camp Jened, a nonprofit for disabled children, helped pass The Americans with Disabilities Act. With so many pressing issues in need of real social change, how do we democratize support for lesser-known or 'forgotten' causes to solve today's human rights crises?
