[Amistad Law Project @AmistadLaw]

Pittsburgh ended solitary confinement in its jails. Where Philly at? 👀

Read this essential message from John Thompson of @AbolitionistLC about why solitary confinement is torture and why we must end it.

Thrilled to see the work of SVP Investee @CenterBlackEd getting the attention it deserves! @selmekki @CBSEveningNews

[Center for Black Educator Development @CenterBlackEd]

Black men make up only 2% of public school teachers in the US. We need to change that! See the segment on why #WeNeedBlackTeachers and how we are building the #BlackEducatorPipeline. @selmekki @JimAxelrod

[United Way (UWGPSNJ) @PhillySJUnited]

Dalila Wilson-Scott (@dalila_says) put it perfectly: “Poverty isn’t ‘their’ problem, it’s OUR problem.”

[SVP Philadelphia @SVPPhilly]

Thought provoking insights from our first #OpportUNITYsummit speaker @nenshi

[United Way (UWGPSNJ) @PhillySJUnited]

“We are in a ‘wet-clay’ moment where we have the opportunity to create a new, more equitable future. But if we wait too long, the clay hardens.” - @nenshi #OpportUNITYSummit

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

.@Alliancemag published a recent piece about by a foundation leader who admittedly may have "entirely misunderstood the concept of #trustbasedphilanthropy." Today, @TrustBasedPhil leaders clear the air about what this practice is, and isn't. Enjoy! https://t.co/cxolEzeQoV
