This is tone deaf at best considering my experience working at your organization. Black people don’t need “engagement”. We need you to dismantle white supremacy & racism. Your board and senior leadership have a lot of work to do starting with themselves. #HonestyMatters

There are many Amy Coopers in so called liberal and progressive spaces.
True. Most of my Amy Cooper stories come from working in “liberal” white spaces. The most racist people I have ever been around are in the non-profit sector.
A lot of y'all are Amy Coopers to the Black women in your non-profits every day. ijs.
