Is technology a hero or villain? The answer lies in how we choose to use it. Our latest blog shares guidance on using gov technology "powers" for good vs evil based on ALPRs in Oakland. If you agree, let your local government know! https://t.co/g5daT3Bv0J

Too many mission-driven organizations spend precious resources being pulled in every direction except the most strategic ones.

Check out Loren Taylor’s post on how to avoid the whiplash by adopting an engineering mindset.

Ben & Jerry taught us that we can be mission-driven and profitable. But not everyone is able to envision what is possible or has the ability/commitment to get it done.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield is leaving the ice cream brand after 47 years, saying that the independence it once had to speak up on social issues has been stifled by its parent company Unilever.

A social innovation and community empowerment strategy is incomplete if it doesn't activate the broader community through civic engagement. Registering to vote is foundational to a successful social change agenda. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

[Black Action Alliance (BAA) @BAAbayarea]

Power does not concede; it counts votes. On National Voter Registration Day, we reflect on where we have come and where we are headed...

From poll taxes and literacy tests to purged rolls, gerrymandered maps, and shuttered polling places—voter suppression has always shape-shifted to silence Black voices.

Today, we have an opportunity to counter-punch – by encouraging our fellow citizens and communities to register to vote.

Every new voter is a key 🔑 to:
Safer Neighborhoods
Fully Funded Schools
Fair Housing
Environmental health
Economic Dignity

It’s National Voter Registration Day—get #VoteReady and bring three friends with you.

"Today, just 1.4 percent of farmers identify as Black or mixed race compared with about 14 percent 100 years ago... These farmers represent less than 0.5 percent of total US farm sales... (representing) a $5 billion in economic disparity." https://t.co/MF4qJj2Xaf
