📣 Louder for the people in the back! Our own Dr. Chera Reid and @whenlulawerks of @MnPhilanthropic came together to strategize on ways philanthropy can and must live up to racial justice promises.

@BreneBrown I never knew, @BreneBrown, what you meant to want to throw a book until I dove into this fascinating, super hard, and transformative book by bell hooks 💜

Damn, it's good!

[Albertina Lopez @alyannlopez]

@FlorenceEtta and I talk about activating our power in this Feminist in Evaluation week's blog post. What excites you about using evaluation for equity and justice?

My hope is restored 💙

A Black and Indian American woman named Kamala will be our Vice President. We are the first generation of Americans who will be able to respectfully say Madam Vice President.

Now let’s be the first generation of Americans to root out sexism and racism.

[Albertina Lopez @alyannlopez]

Looking forward to this!

Raise your hands if you'd really like for there to be just one day when Nothing Happens so you can breathe and cry and process all this collective trauma.

I am so excited!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Dr. Chera Reid will be the new leader of the Evaluation Roundtable. Chera is exactly the right person to lead the Evaluation Roundtable as both its vision and model evolves. (thread: 1/7) https://t.co/ir2uB7bjGb

There are many ways a deep equity perspective has not been integrated into the systems change field. As a result, many systems change efforts have caused harm. New monograph offers pathways toward #EquitableSystemsChange and beyond harm→ https://t.co/fGXF2FPspN

[Albertina Lopez @alyannlopez]

So much yes.

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.

It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

[Albertina Lopez @alyannlopez]

@BldingMovement explored race and leadership in the #nonprofit sector, #racetolead. Compared to 2016, we are still interacting with entrenched, system racism in the nonprofit sector. We can do better. Check out their findings and recommendations. https://t.co/Ory6itKDvV

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Wearing a mask is a sign of toughness. Of resolve.

A sign of someone who gives a damn. Who wants to solve a problem. Who takes responsibility.

I think that’s a beautiful thing.

"Accountability is about relationship." Cultivate and foster those relationships. Connect.

[Albertina Lopez @alyannlopez]

@nfg_org's plenary shares how the system of #philanthropy does not want foundations to be accountable to community. "What are the dispositions, commitments, and infrastructures in place? Who is our portfolio accountable to? What compels us to stay the course?"
