As per The Grio:
During that time, Jealous and his team have increased the number of online activists from 175,000 to over 675,000, doubled the organization’s revenue from $23 million since 2007 and nationally expanded their donor base by more than 100,000 individuals per year.

However, this year more than ever, Jealous has reflected on his promise to his daughter 9she would get her daddy back in 5 years) and while he has just now decided to go public with the news, he says he made the decision to step down in August. [….]
