What Should Nonprofits Do in the Wake of Obama’s Speech?

President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation Sunday night was only his third from the Oval Office. The need was there to use everything at hand, including any impressive props he could access, to be heard through the din of terror mongering by elected officials and candidates alike.

It’s no longer exactly a stretch to feel threatened by the prevalence of mass shootings here and abroad. The media is filled with reports of increased gun sales after each U.S.-based incident. Now, instead of being trained to cower in terror under our desks in case of a nuclear attack, there is a healthy market for consultants who train people to run from, hide from or fight fellow members of our communities who have gone off the rails.
