I talk with Amy Everitt, President of Golden State Opportunity, a nonprofit that strives to end poverty and improve the lives of low-income workers in California. Amy shares with me the top 4 lessons she's learned in her more than two decades of advocacy, both in California and federally.

We also talk about the challenges facing the anti-poverty movement as California heads into another year of historic budget surplus and GSO's long term goal to support low-income communities as they build political power.
