Excited to share perspective alongside @a_russman in @FastCompany. After Dobbs v Jackson, corporations stepped up to fill abortion care gaps. We ask: What consequences does this have on worker power? Health equity? For @Starbucks, PR from benefits helps cover up union busting.

Anti-monopoly is so much more than antitrust. It is a way of viewing the world through the lens of power: who has it, how it is wielded, and whether it's used to dominate or to partner. This frame helps cut through a lot of partisan politics, false dichotomies, and red herrings.

The attention that CDFIs have received recently is 🙌🏽. Proud to rep @commonfutureco here. Now, let’s remember that MDIs, micro lenders, 504 certified dev lenders, and other nonprofit institutions are critical as well. We need a long-term build of equitable infrastructure.

Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

"We don't talk often enough in this conversation about racial justice [about] the economic side. Racial and economic justice are interdependent." — @RDFoxworth (@commonfutureco) at #SSIRinstitute. Read about supporting entrepreneurs of color: ssir.org/articles/entry/buil…

Building an Inclusive Economy by Supporting Entrepreneurs of Color (SSIR)

The US economy must change so that all Americans can shape its direction and benefit from its growth. Foundations can help lead the way through investment.

What if — and hear me out here — we invested in Black communities rather than mass incarceration and the police?
@AmakaAgbo @rajasvini @changecrusader & @ABLImpact are four powerful voices that leaders in #philanthropy & #ImpInv need to listen to right now and into the future. I'll do my best not to get too much in the way of their actionable and visionary insight and experiences. 👊🏾🙏🏾

THIS. Talk about rooting in equity and core systems change. Let’s make housing a real priority in 2021. curbed.com/2020/1/29/2111240…

In a @guardian op-ed, @darrenwalker implores those with power and wealth to embrace sacrifice. “You give up some of your privilege for something far more valuable: justice.” theguardian.com/inequality/c… #inequality #justice #hope – at Manhattan, NY

Charity won't fix inequality. Only structural change will

The individuals leading change, and making the largest sacrifices, are all too often the people most threatened by inequality
