Re: history of slavery @ClintSmithIII says "I’ll say that what matters to me is the way that certain places confront and are honest about, and are willing to grapple with, and make amends, for that history." It's the grapple & make amends part for me. bit.ly/34UH11X
George Floyd "has become a symbol, but he was also a father. And in so many ways, the latter is far more important,” @ClintSmithIII wrote last month: on.theatln.tc/31Z4IIr
Hot off the press @PolicyLink report 10 Priorities for Advancing Racial Equity Through the American Rescue Plan: A Guide for City and County Policymakers provides local leaders a framework for the equitable deployment of #ARP funds. plcylk.org/10-priorities-…
You don’t have to apologize to anyone for being exhausted. You don’t owe rushing back to “normalcy” to anyone. We are grieving, experiencing/recovering from great loss and shock. Please be gentle with yourself and everyone you encounter. The pandemic is not over.
Imagine a world where communities get to make decisions on #impactinvesting. How might things change? bit.ly/3sEhHap #socialimpact #philanthropy
“What would investment into communities look like if those very communities were part of the process?” Great @npquarterly piece on new report by @TransformFin - bit.ly/39xznNr
"What if we’d asked ourselves long ago why a formalized education or the title of program officer was the only way to effectively make funding decisions and evaluate a grantee’s work?"
I appreciated this good read. "To effectively support this movement, our existing measures of efficacy, knowledge, and leadership must change." philanthropy.com/article/tellin…
I have finished my @wcmtuk report on #participatorygrantmaking ! You can read Grassroots Grantmaking Embedding Participatory Approaches to Funding here: hannahpaterson.com/blog/ In January I'll be hosting learning events to launch it... details here hannahpaterson.com
Interested in participatory grantmaking? So are we, and here's what we're learning, from @chriscardona @fordfoundation fordfoundation.org/work/learning/…
Barriers to digital opportunity are a burden on entire regions when students struggle with coursework, employees can’t telecommute, patients can’t access telehealth—especially in the wake of #COVID19. Some consider digital redlining a rural issue, but cities experience it, too.
@drdwayneproctor @adler_david @katiewehr @Dwayneacurry @MonigurL973 @mzsimmons @JennNgandu @KatrinaEBadger @LGrubstein
COVID-19 has amplified social, economic, & health inequities. How can #philanthropy, esp. national #foundations, partner with people who are most impacted to address immediate needs & create long-term change? Check out these relevant reads! @chriscardona @kwbyerly @MrJuWonderful
Everyone in American should have a fair opportunity to do the right thing in light of #COVID19, including staying home if they (or their kids) are sick to reduce transmission risk. Yet, for many, this isn't realistic. Read my piece in @washingtonpost. washingtonpost.com/opinions/as-co…
As public health makes recommendations, make sure that everyone has a fair opportunity to do the right thing— staying home when you’re sick is a challenge without sick leave. Closing schools won’t be effective without access to childcare. #healthequity
We don’t know how the #COVID19 story will end in the United States or elsewhere, but here's a few recommendations for America to take to heart from @DrRichBesser. Reply to each thread if you or your organization is helping to make this happen. washingtonpost.com/opinions/as-co…
