Return to the Calls and Convenings page
On Valentine's Day, we showed up for each other on our monthly call. We learned from alicia sanchez gill from the Emergent Fund about how they are supporting communities to respond to rapidly changing conditions and that engage multiple identities and multi-racial alliance building as core to theory of change. We will also hear from Jane Ward and Karen FitzGerald from the Meyer Foundation in DC about how they have revamped their grants process to be more inclusive and equitable.
