This concept of re-villaging challenges the way that philanthropy pushes for scale and replicability, rather than supporting movements and orgs to be rooted in their unique social, economic and political conditions
Tracy Mack Parker (she/her)
01:57:43
I appreciate the probing questions!
caitlin (she/her)-Amah Mutsun land

It challenges progress = bigger, more

+1 to Nwamaka’s statement. In philanthropy the metric of what change looks like is not rooted I the uplifting the needs of collective. The shining thing that can be replicated that are not based in the needs of people is what is funded.
Sequoia Thompson (She/Her/Queen) TRHT-LA
02:00:41
Just clarifying: BRC Black Radical Congress correct?
Sequoia Thompson (She/Her/Queen) TRHT-LA
02:01:18
Tokenisizng!!! You said a word!
Allen Kwabena Frimpong
02:01:58
Yes @Helen and The collective not only needs to define it but they need to fund themselves as a means of building models of governance and participation
Janis (she/her)
02:02:40
WOW!!!
Sequoia Thompson (She/Her/Queen) TRHT-LA
02:03:16
YAAAASSSSS!!!! The youth are always the future!! WE have to heal to help them keep expanded the collective
Jennifer Near, she/her, Pennacook/Abenaki
02:03:20
How can we align and nurture the diverse ecosystem of tactics (which is necessary to calibrate to the level of structural forces and harm) rather than obstruct, dominate, or control these local models rooted in place and self-determination?
Allen Kwabena Frimpong
02:03:25
period!

And philantropy needs to reexamine what risk means. Most of the time it is about risk to themselves and their repetition. Not about the risk for the survival and quality of BIPOC lives
