[Children's Council of San Francisco @childcaresf]

San Francisco’s child care community fought hard to pass Baby Prop C in 2018, and took the battle all the way to California State Supreme Court in 2021. Now these critical funds are in peril, possibly resulting in a in a loss of $150–$180 million for child care in the city.

[Trust-Based Philanthropy Project @TrustBasedPhil]

Trust-based philanthropy is not a buzzword. It is not about naïve or unconditional trust. It is not defined by unrestricted funding alone. Fundamentally, it means centering our work around power-sharing & relationship-building, not transaction & control: https://t.co/vdOuUO0YgU

[Julia Scott @juliascribe]

Wishing once again the media would break from its own tired, racist playbook - "let's focus on the white shooter!" and tell the stories of his victims. And their families. He made them into a group. They are individuals. He wanted your attention. Stop giving it to him. #Buffalo

Board & Administrator asked me how organizations can ensure their boards have diverse experiences and perspectives. One takeaway: The involvement of people directly impacted by the work of the organization, including involvement on the board, is essential. https://t.co/ctyQxP0b7F

My father’s influence is global.

We can engage his teachings to eradicate injustice anywhere.

In our World House today, there are malnourished children, war-ravaged villages, and families without clean water.
