Patricia A. O'Malley . Social Policy & Programs Consulting

I have been a social service provider and public policy advocate since 1982. Now, I'm a freelance writer and consultant for nonprofit organizations working toward social justice.Through Social Policy & Programs Consulting, I provide contracted services – including research, writing, training, program development, marketing, lobbying, advocacy, event planning, and organizing – to nonprofit agencies working to attain political, social, and economic justice for low-income and working people.My online column, Community Matters, uses current events as the platform to teach civics, with emphasis on the U.S. Constitution. I clarify the history, rationale, policies, and procedures surrounding government operations. I don't report the news. I explain it. Learn the background behind the news.
