I’m happy to kick off this @LISC_HQ @npquarterly essay series. Local civic action is how systemic change starts. I include a framework for civic action.

LISC CEO Lisa Glover, @SteveLISCSB, + @LISCChicago's Meghan Harte joined @grancoramino and its co-founder @KevinHart4real in the windy city to spend time with MCM Protein Bar, a #smallbiz in Pilsen. It was a delightful time filled with morning pick-me-up shakes + protein donuts!

Here's how we put a $40M unrestricted gift from @mackenziescott to work: https://t.co/9BMVggf9Gr

[Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) @LISC_HQ]

Why are unrestricted donations to #CDFIs like LISC so critical? They allow us to innovate and test new ideas around:

✔️ #affordablehousing + homeownership for POC
✔️ closing racial health, wealth, and opportunity gaps
✔️ diversifying the #commdev field

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to LISC #ImpactNotes! We want to celebrate and thank our investors who have raised over $98 million to help refinance our existing debt & forge resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across 49 states.

A year ago, we witnessed the senseless murder of George Floyd. We remember this chilling day, the conversation it ignited, and vow to continue our advocacy on behalf of those who have been victims of injustice.

[Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) @LISC_HQ]

As we mark the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we are heartened by the collective demand for change and the movement pushing to end police violence and systemic racism. These efforts are urgent, and LISC is in them for the long haul.

[Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) @LISC_HQ]

2020 was a year like no other. To meet the challenges of #COVID19, the recession & #racialinjustice in our communities, LISC & our partners stepped up like never before. We're grateful to report that our impact surpassed all our expectations #LISC2020AR: https://t.co/3BXqyX0z1f

don’t just check on your AAPI friends. read up on the Chinese Exclusion Act, US occupation of the Philippines, Japanese internment camps. listen to AAPI women when they talk about the racist, sexualized messages they’ve heard all their lives. we’re all tired and it’s just not new

[Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) @LISC_HQ]

LISC stands in solidarity with #AAPI communities and we denounce the surge in racist attacks on AAPI people. Our entire organization is committed to dismantling the systems that perpetuate racial violence and together, we can reach that goal. https://t.co/iS0fJzfZZP
