Really excellent article by @IntlWomen's @FrancoiseGirard on why philanthropy often fails women's rights organizations. She says the right kind of grantmaking has to focus on supporting the women's rights movement, not just empowerment. https://t.co/URHVkgmuP1

Important court victory, but only first of many that are needed to ensure citizenship question is removed from census. Allowing it to stay would all but ensure that hard-to-count populations are further underrepresented in 2020. Impact would be devastating.
