No one should be able to argue credibly that white nationalism isn't a threat to our democracy, economic security, and the health & vitality of the social fabric of our communities. In @Philanthropy, I share 5 steps foundations can take to #deactivatehate: https://t.co/C37vFodt6p

When we unite against what divides us, when we listen to and give voice to those who have been silenced, when we meet anger and hate with love and healing, we can change the course of history.

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, who was held hostage last night with three congregants at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, TX, has released a statement through a spokesperson.

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker of Beth Israel in #Colleyville continues to lead by example:

As a PR person to help with all the media inquiries - he hired a black woman owned and run firm, that is focused on social justice.

[Sharon Alpert @SharonAlpert]

So moved by these words of solidarity by Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker. Praying for him -a friend to many in my community- Jews everywhere & all communities targeted by hatred. As he said, ‘When it comes to hatred & violence, we all must stand together.’ #Prayingforbethisrael

[The Jewish Independent @TJI_au]

The Rabbi who wrote these words after the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting is currently being held hostage himself with 3 other worshippers at his synagogue in Texas.

“Too many times in Jewish history we have faced tragedies without love and support.”

[Sharon Alpert @SharonAlpert]

This time of intense polarization across society is a defining moment for us all.  Now more than ever, philanthropy must do better to help bridge divides to make progress on the most pressing challenges facing our communities and our planet, which I care so deeply about.

[Mission Investors Exchange @MissionInvest]

What does it mean for a foundation to go "all in" with #impinv? The experience of @NCFImpact is one of the top requested case studies of the year at @YaleSOM. The idea of going "all in" is one of the themes of our National Confernce May 11-13 in #Atlanta. https://t.co/JdFq8WwqxT

@FuturePresente @womensfunding @Cynthia_Nimmo @JulieAbrams3 @aimeeallison @PamelaShifman @MsTeresaYounger @aliciasjay @keeshagaskins Yes!!! Congratulations Elizabeth! So excited for you, your colleagues, and the field.

[Sharon Alpert @SharonAlpert]

Proud of @NCFImpact @mendezberry support for Critical! @Inclusionists ‘A new day is being ushered in, and a lot more needs to happen, and if we don’t have critics connecting those stories … [with] those audiences, they’re left out to participate in ways that are very important’

[TIME'S UP @TIMESUPNOW]

We've officially launched CRITICAL, a database to increase the representation of women, people of color, people with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community and gender non-binary individuals in the pool of critics and entertainment journalists. https://t.co/doiMwuidGj
