How John is building a better working world
Disasters devastate communities, and in particular, the most vulnerable parts of our communities, as acute shocks such as catastrophic hurricanes may exacerbate the chronic stresses of homelessness, economic insecurity and reduced access to critical services. At the end of the day, I am helping to build a better working world by supporting organizations’ financial disaster recovery while they focus on governing: repairing fire stations, replacing schools and building resilience in their communities.
