Steve Shaff moved to Washington, DC to pursue a PhD in Social and Political Psychology armed with a great ambition to work for a more sustainable and socially just society. Being a city of two very distinct economic classes, I soon found that there was plenty of social injustice to address right here in my newly adopted hometown.
He took a leave of absence to set out on a career in community development and advocacy. This decision led him on a very active path that combined my business expertise with a social agenda – from within the decrepit inner-city of Washington, DC to the hallowed halls of Congress. Community-Vision Partners (C-VP) is the culmination of 25 years of his organizing and social enterprise work. |

Put Trade in the Spotlight
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were united suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
