How can #philanthropy truly support #RacialEquity? "until we are talking about issues of power and saying the words 'white supremacy' at board meetings, we will continue to see iterative, incremental, peripheral change, NOT material sustained progress" @darrenwalker #cep2021

How can #philanthropy truly support #RacialEquity?
- Fund BIPOC-led organizations
- Support leaders of color
- Amplify their voices
- Repeat

Build relationships/get proximal with organizations; then when something like 2020 happens, you can mobilize funds quickly.
Give BIPOC staff power to give unrestricted grants to their communities.

Change is grown, not bought.
Organizing is great, but we also need infrastructure owned and led by BIPOC
Understand that presence & power are _not_ the same.
Who gets to make decisions?

Hey @JoinBMe @ComNetworkEvent - @rashadrobinson is talking about asset framing in support of #RacialEquity.
Stop calling black communities "vulnerable". They are not. They have been structurally & systemically left out of progress. #philanthropy #cep2021

The work of #philanthropy needs to shift from solving social problems, to identifying how systems and structures have been designed and dismantle those. White supremacy is a system.
