President Obama took the oath of office for a second time in January, at a moment in history where critical progress is being made on reducing poverty and improving livelihoods worldwide. InterAction's members, more than 190 U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) supported by the American people, are on the front lines of this change.

And if you read something you think the president and others should hear too, please share it.
