9 Traits of the Nonprofit Leaders We Need

Last week, Seattle lost one of its community leaders, legendary activist Bob Santos. "Uncle Bob" was one of the Gang of Four, aka the Four Amigos, a group of racially diverse friends who hung out, sang karaoke and fought injustice. The other three Amigos were Bernie Whitebear, Roberto Maestas and Larry Gossett.

They realized that they, and their diverse ethnic communities, were much stronger together, a philosophy that carried them through countless successful sit-ins, rallies and other forms of protests in their fights around gentrification, poverty, funding inequity, fishing rights and other issues.
