Baby is fired up and wants a just transition

Huge love to Nikki and all the parents out there!

LOVE Mama Nikki and her bossi!!

+1000

Love for all the mamas! We need to do all we can to make room for mamas to be in the work!

That’s the reality, Nikki!!!

We need to be able to parent and make movements!

I love having babies in meetings!! Thank you for bringing your baby Nikki! <3

All for nursing on Zoom. :)

It is and she needs a little extra loving today. Thanks for letting her join. What I didn't share is: We want a national and global system that invests in our people and these principles and one that no longer defines success by simple measures like GDP alone. A federal system that values the traditional ecological and regenerative development knowledge that has informed our people for centuries and build this into federal programming and policy as the means of which to help and heal the land and secure all of our futures.

Mamas doing all the good work, thank you Nikki!

Thanks Nikki, you are such an awesome mama and leader. Gratitude for you.

For those who just joined us, please welcome: Nick Tilsen, President and CEO, NDN Collective

Thank you, Jennifer!

Reparations Summer: https://reparationssummer.com/

Invite folks to share reactions and thoughts as we move through the conversation! What's coming up for you? What's resonating?

Autonomous Autumn

loving the shout for creativity

Love this panel - it is nourishing me right now. Thank you to all the speakers. I especially appreciate the demonstration of flexibility, creativity, and innovation. We need to have funders follow this incredible leadership and not edit, censor, second-guess, or otherwise eff it up. Which for me means, get involved, but be ready to learn.

“For a colonized people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity.”-Frantz Fanon

“our homelands are living beings” - beautifully said nikki

+++ Regan

the reading about Black farmers was very insightful and the USDA harmful policies

+++ BA, glad to hear that the resources were grounding. Many were pulled from speakers' org sites, so encourage folks to continue to go deeper and to also give us feedback on the resources when we send out the post-series eval!

Come on Akua!!

self determination inseparable from land - yes and as we can see by all the governmental broken promises

Yes-- disconnection from land = disconnect from the Western ways of building wealth -- assets via homeownership -- which can be leveraged for businesses. Removal of connection to land is an economic and social tactic of control. They want us to assimilate and then take away the means of assimilating...

Teach Akua!!!

So appreciate this powerful knowledge and offering.

Yas NIkki!

“Rebuilding a relationship with this land as an enslaved ppl”. Powerful, Akua. Thank you. Thank you Nikki and Nick too.

So powerful to think about connection to stolen lands, stolen peole and how we heal and reclaim power. Thank you!

+1+1+1

Dr. Jane Mt Pleasant, Tuscarora national expert on Iroquois agriculture writes how Iroquois maize farmers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries produced three to five times more grain per acrethan wheat farmers in Europe.

Thank you all so much for this great organizing and helping us imagine more just and loving futures!

awesome powerful speakers and stories - my heart and head are full and nourished and my hands are ready to move - thank you!

Snaps to Nick and NDN!

Thanks Leslie! We are going to have a reflection and bio break after this closing round and then another fireside chat with some funding peers who are resourcing these bodies of work in deep alignment with grassroots leaders, stay on if you can!

Yas, Karissa!!

follow those who are getting it right - we need that list to boost them

YASSS Karissa!

+++++ follow Nwamaka and Janis's leadership! I literally gave an audible whoop over here!

intersectional systems

Indigenous History of the US is a good resource for people who want to study.

thank you @Karissa!

What is your 10 year plan for collective liberation? Thanks, Karissa!

“The amount of paper work and hoops to jump through that is needed when you don’t trust people is substanially more”

This is a problem we got work to do

We in philanthropy are being as to fund the vision of the frontline; fund the infrastructure necessary to protect you from the legal and physical attacks; follow the philanthropic leadership that are leading the way in being in right relationship with the frontline; 10 years grants!!!; and do the work/study to sharpen intersectional work. I hear you and I am with you to move faster and doing better on these fronts.

think philanthropy needs to unlearn elitism

Yes Helen! and YES to alternative term sheets!

+100 BA

thank you @Nikki!

Appreciate your reflection Helen!

“We don’t have time for funders, we need organizers”

+++++

Akua!

thanks for throwing down Karissa and Akua, Im all fired up over here

Same beloved!

Fellow funders, “Go get your cousins, organize them”. Love it!

We welcome your feedback on today’s webinar: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/B6XBY3P

Thank you, Helen!

The power dynamics of traditional philanthropy make it very hard for program folks to “break in” and influence board culture or norms. Appreciate all you are doing.

Appreciate you @Helen!! Let us keep that fire/light burning! We have one another in this!

thanks for that reflection Helen, always appreciate your leadership!

Leadership cohort but with more board members and trustees like you have done.
