[Groundswell Fund @GroundswellFund]

A different way of philanthropic giving includes a significant transfer of resources to institutions where #POC decide where dollars go - the “same old way” of doing philanthropy doesn’t work. https://t.co/tFfRIrTV9M #disruptthestatusquo #philanthropydobetter #philanthropysowhite

Remarkable piece by Jim Schutze, author of THE ACCOMMODATION.

"If we pull the focus back down to the local level, what is the anchor? Where is it? Can we see it with our own eyes?"

[Dr. Gail C Christopher @DrGCChristopher]

This politically contrived debate about Critical Race Theory only exists because America has never done the required work of eliminating belief in a false hierarchy of human value and redressed the systemic harms created by this belief. Now is the time for truth.

[Embrey Family Fdn @EmbreyFdn]

In July 2016, 5 police officers were killed in a mass shooting at a peaceful #BlackLivesMatter march. In the days that followed, @chanteljones_ helped us reflect and connect. We remain grateful.

Now, we invite you to connect with @DallasTRHT to continue community healing.
