We're growing! We are hiring for two senior-level positions: Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director. These are opportunities to work with an outstanding and diverse team of colleagues equally motivated to create change. https://t.co/CWMfvPix9G

Before being led off in handcuffs,Nick Tilsen, President and CEO of The NDN Collective said, “Our people have fought for this land and we will continue to. This won’t be the last. Our goal isn’t just to resist, but to radically imagine a better future.” https://t.co/n6niml0Ax8
Just so we're all on the same page: Indigenous Peoples were arrested the day before #FourthofJuly on their own lands which are protected by treaties, treaties, that according to the U.S. constitution, are the supreme law. #LandBack#UnitedStatesofHypocrisy
If you’re a donor or foundation, do the things we suggest. Fund & follow the lead of Black-led orgs. Hire Black people into leadership (& recruit Black trustees!). Hire Black consultants. Assess if what you call “risk” is actually bias. Decolonize your views on Black capability.
“There is one ideology that has governed all of our actions, individuals and institutions — that suggests that we must continuously grow.”
