As the Policy Leadership Initiative continues to evolve, we've been listening closely to the needs of policy practitioners at all stages of their journeys.

Aspiration once again partnered with TechSoup for another free webinar, Around the Twitter World in 60 Minutes.
Twitter has claimed its place on the short list of communications tools for nonprofits and libraries to consider when designing online strategies. The webinar surveyed the Twitter landscape, explaining core concepts, enumerating best practices, and describing the tools and tactics that exist to leverage Twitter's strengths.
Aspiration is proud to be partnering with Mozilla to drive the local event strategy for their Drumbeat project. Aspiration will help to prototype what Drumbeat Local events look like across the globe, and train local organizers in how to design and run their own Drumbeat events. The event format and philosophy will be based on Aspiration's own facilitation methodology.
Aspiration was delighted to design and facilitate a focus group for Craigslist Foundation's latest project, code-named What Works, in San Francisco at the end of January. The goal of the project is to assess the degree to which stories and ideas about successful community change can help others achieve success in their own communities. And to the extent that they do, to then investigate how to better get that information distributed where it needs to go.
