summary
Data show more than two thirds of nationally recognized social entrepreneurs cluster in Boston New York DC and the Bay Area while those metros contain only 16% of the U.S. population; Ashoka expands into the South and Midwest, finds over a hundred local change agents, and builds a support stack of stipends, pro bono services and peer exchanges. Examples: an Arkansas-led coalition Arms with Ethics organizes cross‑side agreements to curb illegal guns from Arkansas to New Hampshire, and Atlanta’s Welcoming America mediates immigrant–native coalitions that help flip cities like Nashville.
