OMB Watch now co-chairs the Let America Speak Coalition along with Independent Sector and Alliance for Justice to fight such proposals. OMB Watch's involvement in nonprofit issues, however, is no longer limited to nonprofit advocacy. OMB Watch also works to increase nonprofit access to the latest communications technology, including the Internet.
