Tuesday, October 3, 2017 from 9 - 10:30 AM PT / 12 - 1:30 PM ET Sponsored by Grantmakers for Southern Progress, National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, and the Institute for Southern Studies. Report funded by the Ford Foundation. SPEAKERS: • Nik Theodore, Report Author, University of Illinois, Chicago • Chris Kromm – Institute for Southern Studies • LaTosha Brown – Grantmakers for Southern Progress • Ryan Schlegel – National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy • Nsombi Lambright - One Voice, Mississippi What will it take to win successful economic justice campaigns in the South? With many families facing chronically low wages and economic insecurity, an understanding and attention to the political economy of the South can help funders and field organizations develop successful intervention strategies. Focusing on the southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, the New Southern Strategies: Employment, Workers’ Rights and the Prospects for Regional Resurgence report assesses economic indicators affecting quality of life in the South, examines corporate strategies that are driving these changes, and presents some of the efforts underway in the region to improve the quality of economic opportunity through labor organizing and strengthening workers’ rights. On this webinar, hear from the report’s author Nikolas Theodore (University of IL, Chicago) who will share highlights from the report and his previous work to illuminate opportunities to advance and build worker power. Additional speakers will share their analyses of the political economy of the South, how the history of systemic racism has maintained corporate power and limited the ability to build strong and successful efforts by community groups and labor to improve workers’ rights, and how the recent unionization efforts impact the outlook for future efforts across the country.

Personal income 081213-web
This document analyzes factors that contribute to differences in per capita income between U.S. states using Indiana as a case study. It finds that Indiana's per capita income ranking has declined from 21st in 1950 to 40th currently, diverging from the national average. While standards of living have doubled in Indiana over 50 years, growth has lagged the national rate. The document examines components of personal income for Indiana over time and identifies socioeconomic factors, human capital levels, inequality, and migration as influences on income differences worth further policy consideration to potentially impact long-term economic development.

American Community Survey and the Census
The document discusses the history and basics of the US Census and American Community Survey (ACS). It explains that the Census counts the entire population every 10 years and includes basic demographic questions, while the ACS replaced the long form and samples 1 in 6 households annually for more detailed socioeconomic questions. The ACS provides timely annual or multi-year estimate data for areas with populations over 65,000, while the Census provides a single point-in-time count every 10 years.
Michigan’s Urban and Metropolitan Strategy (2012)
Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM) hired Public Sector Consultants (PSC) to outline strategies that the State of Michigan can implement to help its regions and cities achieve their economic and urban development goals. The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program substantively
shaped and contributed to this project under the auspices of the Brookings-Rockefeller Project on
State and Metropolitan Innovation, which works to present fiscally responsible state policies and practical, metropolitan-led solutions that leaders can use to create the next American economy.
Working together on this effort, PSC and Brookings have focused on state-level interventions that
will support and empower metropolitan areas in their ongoing economic and urban revitalization efforts. This strategy recognizes that much of the heavy lifting regarding urban and metropolitan revitalization must be done at the local level, and that there is an abundance of work focused on
local urban revitalization efforts. This strategy is intended to build on those efforts, and make
recommendations regarding what the state (and other stakeholders) can do at both the state and metro-specific level to help urban metropolitan areas achieve their prosperity goals.

AZ = Narrative Project - Statewide Poll
Progress Now Arizona conducted an online poll in April 2018 to quantify themes from qualitative research, including Arizonans' negative views of politics. Key findings include:
- Voters see corporations and lobbyists as symbols of problems and support taxing corporations more.
- Populist messages rejecting help for the powerful resonate more than overtly progressive ones.
- Voters want honest leaders who provide facts over spin.
However, centrist messages also test well. Some theories did not pan out, and voters prioritize candidate qualities like honesty over struggling financially or personal attributes. This non-probability survey of 814 adults is biased towards more engaged online voters.
Power of the PAC
While PAC spending has grown significantly in elections, the relationship between district income levels and PAC contributions is unclear. The authors analyzed this relationship through three linear regression models comparing mean household income to PAC spending at the congressional district level from 2006-2012. The first model found a weak positive correlation, but it was not statistically significant. The second model, adjusted for year-to-year differences, also produced a positive correlation that was not statistically significant. The third model, which further adjusted for district differences, showed the strongest positive correlation but with a large margin of error, preventing conclusions. Overall, the analysis did not find clear evidence that lower-income districts receive more PAC funds to compensate for smaller donor bases as hypothesized.
HR Webinar: The New EEO-1 Component 2 Reporting Requirement: Are You Ready?
With the decision by Judge Tanya Chutkan of the DC Federal District Court in National Women's Law Center, et al., v. Office of Management and Budget, et al., Civil Action No. 17-cv-2458 (D.D.C.), now appearing to be final, the EEOC announced on July 15, 2019, that the EEO-1 Component 2 reporting portal is now open, and login information was being sent to approx. 1.6 million employer "establishments" who are required to complete this reporting by September 30, 2019. As a reminder, this reporting requirement, which has been pending EEOC "activation" for more than three years, requires employers to categorize employees by pay range, report their annual hours worked, and classify by race, gender and job classification already being reported in existing ("Component 1") information. The initial intent of this data collection was to begin the first-ever, data-driven effort to close the 19% gender pay equity gap recognized within the US.
In this webinar we will review the history of the requirement, the assortment of reporting tools released by the EEOC in July 2019 designed to help with the required reporting and give an update on the expected August posting by the EEOC including when employers are expected to begin uploading Component-2 data in CV format to the EEOC website.

GotGreen_BreakingGreenCeiling_-final
This document discusses a report by the Young Leaders in the Green Movement advocating for paid environmental internships for young workers of color in Seattle. It summarizes the group's research process over two years involving 150 young adults. They found lack of access to paid work experience was a major barrier. The report calls on the city to develop career pathways, expand the definition and number of "green" paid internships, and increase outreach to young people of color. It analyzes city data showing most living wage internships go to white males, and shares stories from young people of color about how internships can provide valuable skills and opportunities. The goal is for communities most impacted by environmental issues to lead the green movement.
A Warning to Legislators: Judgment Day is Coming
An advocacy group called Unshackle Upstate announced a campaign called "Judgment Day" to hold New York state legislators accountable for the state's financial problems. They will provide voters with a "Scorecard" grading legislators' votes on key issues. On November 2nd (Election Day), voters will judge legislators and potentially vote them out of office if they do not support policies to help the economy and reduce taxes and spending. Unshackle Upstate hopes to advance their agenda of job creation and economic growth through an informed electorate and the threat of being unelected.

State of the States: Navigating Trends in Local Compliance
This document summarizes recent trends in state and local HR compliance laws. It notes that federal involvement in HR compliance is decreasing, so focusing on local regulations is important. Key areas discussed include equal pay, "ban the box" laws restricting questions about criminal history, overtime exemption thresholds increasing in some states, rising minimum wages in many states and cities, expanding paid leave requirements, and the complex legal issues around medical marijuana usage. The document advises employers operating in multiple jurisdictions to apply the most generous policies to avoid employee relations problems and to stay up to date on the changing compliance landscape.

Response one PADM--04The authors feel that welfare should be ba.docx
Response one PADM--04
The authors feel that welfare should be based on fairness and compassion. Those that need aid and are not able to get it for themselves should receive it. If it is an adult who can help themselves, but they are unwilling to take the necessary steps to support themselves then they should not receive any aid. The current welfare system enables non-working individuals that are receiving aide, and require no constructive behavior in return (Rector, 2018). The food stamp program is in need of reform, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Reform Act of 2017 exemplify a proven and popular reform that stabilize the principles of compassion and fairness (Rector, 2018).
Evaluative criteria that were used to analyze the points made in the article are efficiency, equity, effectiveness, and social acceptability. Poles taken in 2012 and 2015 showed that 83% of Americans are in favor of adults who are receiving well fare assistance to work. The results were socially acceptable with bipartisan support. Both sides agreed that an able-bodied adult with no dependents receiving food, cash, medical assistance, and housing should be required to work or prepare themselves to enter the workforce as a condition of them receiving those benefits from the government (Rector, 2018). The costs and benefits to society in the equity is that by reforming the federal welfare policy and basing it on fairness and compassion it will distribute a level of fairness and benefit society. The program is efficient by limiting abled bodied adults without dependents to three months of benefits within a 36-month period. After an individual complete the 3 months of receiving government assistance they would be subject to work requirements of at least 20 hours per week of work performing community service or participating in a qualifying education or training program. The effectiveness of the program was pointed out when the program was introduced in Maine many adults chose to leave the program rather than participate in moderate activities. The caseload in Maine of able-bodied adults without dependents fell from 13,332 in December 2014 to 2,678 recipients in March 2015 (Rector, 2015), according to the author this could be and an indicator that these adults had unreported income that they used to support themselves.
The alternatives for abled body adults without dependents is eliminating the waivers for work requirements. The current policy has a lot of alternatives that are already in place and a common-sense reform to put them in effect. Requiring abled body adults to work and limiting the number of benefits that they receive if they are not working, participating in other work, or educational activity is in the current law. States currently grant waivers and exemptions for able-bodied adults from the work requirement, that should be incrementally reduced. If they are willing they should have supervised job search activities that will satisfy ...
102617 freedom cities webinar final
Recognizing the need for a visionary approach to the challenges facing all communities under attack by the new political regime, Enlace, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and Black Alliance for Just Immigration - organizations with decades of experience organizing and advocating for women, Black and immigrant families, and poor and low-wage workers - have come together to initiate the Freedom Cities Movement.

The briefing will include: an overview of our strategy, recent accomplishments and impact thus far, plans for the coming year, and ways to partner with Freedom Cities.
Native Communities, Policing, and Mass Criminalization Webinar
Native Americans and Black communities are the two populations most impacted by mass criminalization and incarceration in the US. The criminalization of indigenous people on this continent began with genocide and slavery on the Spanish missions in California and the forced removal of Native people onto reservations. Today, Native people have the highest percentage of people shot by the police annually. For Native people who are in prison and separated from their families and communities, their faith practices are ignored or punished as chaplains often have no knowledge or cultural context for Native spiritual practices. This has created deep historical and intergenerational trauma.
Yet there is historical intergenerational wisdom that guides not only Native communities and nations, but also models for social change across the US. For example, restorative justice is rooted in indigenous traditions.
Despite this history, current conditions, and strengths, only a tiny amount of funding goes to Native communities. An even tinier amount to grassroots native organizations addressing these issues. Government funding is the primary source of funding for Native communities, which serves to maintain the status quo and does not support building any capacity for resisting US government state violence.
On September 25, 2017, Neighborhood Funders Group brought together four speakers from philanthropy and the field who spoke on policing and mass criminalization of Native communities; organizing and resistance struggles; and funding entry points to support this work.
Speakers:
Morning Star Gali | Native Justice Now
George Galvis | Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice
Edgar Villanueva (moderator) | Schott Foundation and Native Americans in Philanthropy

GotGreen_BreakingGreenCeiling_-final
This document discusses a report by the Young Leaders in the Green Movement advocating for paid environmental internships for young workers of color in Seattle. It summarizes the group's research process over two years involving 150 young adults. They found lack of access to paid work experience was a major barrier. The report calls on the city to develop career pathways, expand the definition and number of "green" paid internships, and increase outreach to young people of color. It analyzes city data showing most living wage internships go to white males, and shares stories from young people of color about how internships can provide valuable skills and opportunities. The goal is for communities most impacted by environmental issues to lead the green movement.
A Warning to Legislators: Judgment Day is Coming
An advocacy group called Unshackle Upstate announced a campaign called "Judgment Day" to hold New York state legislators accountable for the state's financial problems. They will provide voters with a "Scorecard" grading legislators' votes on key issues. On November 2nd (Election Day), voters will judge legislators and potentially vote them out of office if they do not support policies to help the economy and reduce taxes and spending. Unshackle Upstate hopes to advance their agenda of job creation and economic growth through an informed electorate and the threat of being unelected.

State of the States: Navigating Trends in Local Compliance
This document summarizes recent trends in state and local HR compliance laws. It notes that federal involvement in HR compliance is decreasing, so focusing on local regulations is important. Key areas discussed include equal pay, "ban the box" laws restricting questions about criminal history, overtime exemption thresholds increasing in some states, rising minimum wages in many states and cities, expanding paid leave requirements, and the complex legal issues around medical marijuana usage. The document advises employers operating in multiple jurisdictions to apply the most generous policies to avoid employee relations problems and to stay up to date on the changing compliance landscape.

Response one PADM--04
The authors feel that welfare should be based on fairness and compassion. Those that need aid and are not able to get it for themselves should receive it. If it is an adult who can help themselves, but they are unwilling to take the necessary steps to support themselves then they should not receive any aid. The current welfare system enables non-working individuals that are receiving aide, and require no constructive behavior in return (Rector, 2018). The food stamp program is in need of reform, The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Reform Act of 2017 exemplify a proven and popular reform that stabilize the principles of compassion and fairness (Rector, 2018).
Evaluative criteria that were used to analyze the points made in the article are efficiency, equity, effectiveness, and social acceptability. Poles taken in 2012 and 2015 showed that 83% of Americans are in favor of adults who are receiving well fare assistance to work. The results were socially acceptable with bipartisan support. Both sides agreed that an able-bodied adult with no dependents receiving food, cash, medical assistance, and housing should be required to work or prepare themselves to enter the workforce as a condition of them receiving those benefits from the government (Rector, 2018). The costs and benefits to society in the equity is that by reforming the federal welfare policy and basing it on fairness and compassion it will distribute a level of fairness and benefit society. The program is efficient by limiting abled bodied adults without dependents to three months of benefits within a 36-month period. After an individual complete the 3 months of receiving government assistance they would be subject to work requirements of at least 20 hours per week of work performing community service or participating in a qualifying education or training program. The effectiveness of the program was pointed out when the program was introduced in Maine many adults chose to leave the program rather than participate in moderate activities. The caseload in Maine of able-bodied adults without dependents fell from 13,332 in December 2014 to 2,678 recipients in March 2015 (Rector, 2015), according to the author this could be and an indicator that these adults had unreported income that they used to support themselves.
The alternatives for abled body adults without dependents is eliminating the waivers for work requirements. The current policy has a lot of alternatives that are already in place and a common-sense reform to put them in effect. Requiring abled body adults to work and limiting the number of benefits that they receive if they are not working, participating in other work, or educational activity is in the current law. States currently grant waivers and exemptions for able-bodied adults from the work requirement, that should be incrementally reduced. If they are willing they should have supervised job search activities that will satisfy ...

102617 freedom cities webinar final
Recognizing the need for a visionary approach to the challenges facing all communities under attack by the new political regime, Enlace, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, and Black Alliance for Just Immigration - organizations with decades of experience organizing and advocating for women, Black and immigrant families, and poor and low-wage workers - have come together to initiate the Freedom Cities Movement. Launched on inauguration day by multiracial immigrant workers and allies, this emerging movement has articulated an innovative, intersectional analysis and model that seeks to make entire cities, towns, rural areas, and communities safe for all oppressed people in the U.S.
The briefing will include: an overview of our strategy, recent accomplishments and impact thus far, plans for the coming year, and ways to partner with Freedom Cities.
Native Communities, Policing, and Mass Criminalization Webinar
Native Americans and Black communities are the two populations most impacted by mass criminalization and incarceration in the US. The criminalization of indigenous people on this continent began with genocide and slavery on the Spanish missions in California and the forced removal of Native people onto reservations. Today, Native people have the highest percentage of people shot by the police annually. For Native people who are in prison and separated from their families and communities, their faith practices are ignored or punished as chaplains often have no knowledge or cultural context for Native spiritual practices. This has created deep historical and intergenerational trauma.
Yet there is historical intergenerational wisdom that guides not only Native communities and nations, but also models for social change across the US. For example, restorative justice is rooted in indigenous traditions.
Despite this history, current conditions, and strengths, only a tiny amount of funding goes to Native communities. An even tinier amount to grassroots native organizations addressing these issues. Government funding is the primary source of funding for Native communities, which serves to maintain the status quo and does not support building any capacity for resisting US government state violence.
On September 25, 2017, Neighborhood Funders Group brought together four speakers from philanthropy and the field who spoke on policing and mass criminalization of Native communities; organizing and resistance struggles; and funding entry points to support this work.

Sponsored by Woods Fund Chicago, Zilber Family Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, New York Foundation, and Neighborhood Funders Group.
Building safe, inclusive, and more equitable communities for low-income and communities of color becomes even more critical as cities and regions continue to develop and expand. In places like Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit, large populations of low-income black communities, immigrant communities, and others continue to be plagued with problems ranging from poor schools, low quality housing, and lack of job opportunities. However, community groups are continuing to work towards solutions that will improve lives in these places.
Working with these community groups to navigate the deep history of racially charged polices that have excluded communities, philanthropic institutions and leaders are forging ahead impactful place-based strategies that empower residents, build partnerships, and push towards more equitable change.
On May 25, 2017, Neighborhood Funders Group brought together four Midwest philanthropic leaders for a conversation on how they are working to improve neighborhoods and create economic opportunity for communities.
The discussion explored topics including:
- Strategies and approaches from Midwest funders to improve neighborhoods and create economic opportunities for underserved communities
- How funders are addressing intersectional issues like immigration, jobs, poverty, violence, or others that link to equitable development, housing affordability, and community organizing/power-building
- How philanthropic leaders are addressing racial justice and structural racism issues with their grantees

http://www.nfg.org/hope_heartland_recap
The current debates within progressive circles about the importance of “winning over” the white working class often fail to directly address the need for honest conversations about race, racism and xenophobia. It is tempting for many political strategists and funders to think that we can find and fund a short cut—better candidates, better field canvassing, better television ads, better framing etc... And, that these solutions will influence white, working class voters to (re)align with progressive candidates and causes.
These interventions are doomed from the start because they often focus on how to influence short-term behavior (voting) and fail to engage people in the honest conversations about how the race, racism, and xenophobia are being used to scapegoat their neighbors and divide them from other working-class communities.
This webinar features Tarso Luis Ramos of Political Research Associates in a conversation with Mark Schultz from the Land Stewardship Project in Minnesota and Rhonda Perry of the Missouri Rural Crisis Center. After an overview of xenophobic, white nationalist, and “alt-right” groups in the U.S., the speakers discuss successful models for organizing thousands of rural, white, working-class community members using explicit conversations about race and racism.

Across the country, resident-led institutions and their allies continue to build organizing strategies that address housing, displacement, and gentrification at the local, regional, and state level. Strategies and solutions to gentrification and displacement like rent control measures, passing local ballot initiatives for renter protections, developing community land trusts, and financing affordable housing has had some success, but the demographics of many communities are still rapidly changing.
At the center of these shifts, philanthropy continues to play a critical role investing in expanding the power of low-income communities to build local decision-making. How will federal level changes exacerbate challenges at the city-level? How are community groups connecting to other local challenges? What are some of the strategies emerging in 2017 that teams are working on to address the housing crisis?

Ed Whitfield | Fund for Democratic CommunitiesWebinar: From Sanctuary to Freedom: Cities in Resistance
http://www.nfg.org/sanctuarytofreedom_recap
Immediately after the presidential election, mayors across the country have taken a bold public stance, declaring their cities to be “sanctuary cities,” and vowing to protect their cities' residents against the potential harsh policies that are anticipated to come from the new federal administration and Congress. Throughout the country, we also see a heightened increase of hate violence and racially charged rhetoric in the media against immigrants, including calls for banning Muslims, stronger immigration enforcement, and the dismantling of the key deportation-deferral program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
While the frame of sanctuary cities is designed as protection for undocumented and migrant residents, it also offers an opportunity to engage us all in critical questions about how we shape our democracy and local places: What makes a city a sanctuary? Sanctuary for whom and from what? Many community organizations are using a broader Rebel Cities framework, as well as the newly-launched #FreedomCities, which redefines what safety and freedom truly mean for communities.
Elected officials, government agencies, residents, non-profits, grantmakers, and local businesses all have a role to play in shaping cities that are safe for all residents. For local grantmakers who are deeply embedded in their communities, and regional, state, and national grantmakers of all kinds who support community power-building for the most impacted communities, better alignment with our grantmaking is critical to further strengthen our investments within a region. Philanthropy has a role in leveraging existing organizations working on cross-cutting campaigns like immigration reform, economic development, and affordable housing to build upon emergent work that addresses the threat to undocumented residents. Although large urban centers and more progressive public figures have been leading on sanctuary cities, under-resourced and conservative smaller towns and rural areas are grappling with similar immigration issues that need more exploration.

Webinar: Game Changing Advancement in Fostering Access to Opportunity
http://www.nfg.org/demdev_affh_webinar
Every year, billions of federal dollars are allocated to local governments to foster economic opportunity for low-income people. Yet data shows that concentrated poverty is on the rise, with people of color disproportionately affected. Why are there so many disinvested neighborhoods filled with blight and low-performing schools? Why is it so challenging to place affordable housing in opportunity rich communities? Redlining and other discriminatory practices are now illegal, yet our communities face high and in some cases growing levels of racial and economic segregation. The newly released Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule (AFFH) will require local and state government to use a new approach called an "Assessment of Fair Housing” in determining the use of federal resources to address disparities.
This webinar helped viewers learn more about the AFFH rule, how it can help communities prioritize new strategies for investing in affordable housing, transportation, and healthy neighborhoods, and the critical role for philanthropy in fostering the game changing results for low-income people and communities.
Speakers:
- Gary Cunningham, Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities
- Amy Kenyon, Program Officer, Ford Foundation
- Deidre Swesnik, Program Officer, Open Society Foundation
- Sarita Turner, Associate Director, PolicyLink
- Gustavo Valesquez, Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, HUD
Over 40 funders joined the webinar and the majority of the funders are interested in continuing to discuss the role of philanthropy in investing in community participation at the local and regional level.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.falcon-invoice-discounting-a-premier-investment-platform-for-superior-returns...

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.1.2 Business Ideas Business Ideas Busine

- 22. TOTAL Per Capita Grantmaking, 2010-2014 Alabama Black Belt AL MS GA United States NY New York City Atlanta $28 $130 $204 $329 $453 $451 $995 $1,966

- 25. The Goal: To increase the size and sustainability of funding to the South . . . from Southern AND national philanthropy . . . for strategies that strengthen the power and quality of life of Southern marginalized communities . . . in ways that are accountable to and informed by these same communities.
- 26. Intent: Secure needed progressive wins. Impact: Dangerously limits what change can be. Instead: Prevent harsh backslides & build long-term power.
- 27. Intent: Get money to people who “know how to use it.” Impact: Mistakes privilege for capacity. Instead: Value organizing skills over grant seeking skills.
- 28. Intent: Support what works, and quickly. Impact: Overlooks unfamiliar leaders and strategies. Instead: Prioritize relationships, and trust existing (often unseen) work.
- 29. Culture of fear • What do funders need to understand about the role of fear in Southern communities? • How does that fear prop up bad leaders, bad policies? • How can funders support culture-shift?
- 31. Why Does the South Matter? • What starts here, goes national • The communities most threatened by injustice are largely in the South • It’s the birthplace of the resistance – and that expertise is sharper now than ever
- 32. CIVIC ENGAGEMENT Per Capita Grantmaking, 2010-2014 Alabama Black Belt AL MS GA United States NY New York City Atlanta $0.51 $4 $20 $14 $19 $39 $92 $203
- 33. The key to any lasting progressive vision for the country? It’s the South.
