#Philanthropy can accelerate + deepen its impact if it puts all its capital to work for mission, including by making impact investments. Giving Strong is proud to support The California Endowment in this important work. @melaudette @ImpactPHL @iimag @adamdavidson @byandreachang

Four years of work in the Care First, Jails Last report will be redone in six months by 12 consultants. Here’s what we’ve paid for in the first seven weeks. #ExposeAccenture

[Dr. Nika Soon-Shiong @nikasoonshiong]

There’s one problem. LA County ALREADY developed this. In 2019, a 25-person workgroup collaborated for one year to develop the Care First, Jails Last report. Among the 114 recommendations, the roadmap calls for an independent pretrial support agency to connect people to services.

Summer Street Steps will be valuable but underwhelming, falling far short of what was sold.

The so-called “Grand Staircase” was presented with a wide landing. The landing was presented as “Performance Plaza.”

A false impression of expanse was created at both building corners.

Today we sent @POTUS a letter urging him to reject the #DirtyDeal that would silence Indigenous voices, weaken progress made on Tribal consultation, & fast track dangerous fossil fuel projects near/on our sacred lands & waters. Read the full letter here:

As for the design, this $200 million boondoggle places pedestrians on a promenade with an obstructed view of Boston Harbor. Pedestrians will be subjected to emissions, splashed rainwater and more. All this deck width for what? To get shuttles to a bottleneck at Atlantic Ave?

@Johnkelly368 @FortPointer Come see mayor Wu next Wednesday morning during her community visits at A Street Park and tell her what you think about this

Sounds so simple to redefine portfolio performance: risk, return AND impact. Let’s just start doing it. From @AndiAtMaycomb during @ImpactPHL

[Giving Strong @GivingStrong]

@carolmassar @MilkenInstitute Yes. I’ll be at @ImpactPHL at the same time. How can we ensure attempts to revitalize disinvested communities don’t lead to gentrification? How do we make space for community members to not just have a seat at the planning table but have voice and power if they don’t have the $$?

“Cop City” protester Manuel Teran did not have gunpowder residue on their hands, despite officials claiming Teran fired the first shot at a state trooper.

Officers responded with gunfire, killing Teran and leaving the protester with 57 gunshot wounds https://t.co/X31UQD0DSV

Companies with an annual turnover of over £36 million are required to publish a statement outlining steps taken to address slavery in supply chains, but only 29% of these companies have submitted statements for 2022 - a 46% drop from the previous year.

@FortPointer Speaking of original Omni commitments, will the pool open up to the public once the Covid emergency ends in May?

In the summer of 1860, a ship carrying 110 African captives slipped into Mobile Bay. The Clotilda, the last known American slave ship, made its illegal voyage 52 years after the international slave trade was outlawed. #WomensHistoryMonth

I wish, for the sake of simplicity, I had one single thing I could point to and say this is the problem,” he said. “We have been saying this for a long time that this will get serious and it is now serious. 
“We are in far more of a serious time now than we ever have been before.

Last year, Delta Health System in Greenville spent about $26 million on uncompensated care. That amounts to about 15% of its total operating expenses. Their leadership duo says that the hospital system’s survival will be “touch and go” after this year. https://t.co/kIcqzegePV

“without a Safe Harbor law, Maryland criminalizes child trafficking victims, making them ineligible for an existing program specifically designed for them.” @ECPAT @RachelsNetwork @JaniesFund #humantrafficking

[Maryland Matters || bsky @marylandmatters.org @marylandmatters]

Selling a child for sex is a crime; being the child shouldn’t be.

That’s why Maryland must pass a Safe Harbor bill to protect trafficked children from being charged as prostitutes, the executive director of TurnAround Inc. writes. https://t.co/N6b1jtg3UG
