31. CONVENTION EVENT: The Role of Philanthropy in Movements for Racial Justice

Communities of color and immigrant communities are at the intersection of three crises: a global pandemic, a deep economic recession, and a social uprising in response to police and state violence. Each crisis has been exacerbated by the failures of our political and business leaders to make choices in service of social well-being and economic stability. Join a conversation with leaders in philanthropy, including Marguerite Casey Foundation, Group Health Foundation and General Service Foundation, to explore the unique roles that foundations and non-profits play in shifting the balance of power for working and low-income families.

Moderator:
Alicia Garza, Founder, Black Futures Lab and co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter and the Black Lives Matter Global Network

Panelists:
Dr. Carmen Rojas, President and CEO Marguerite Casey Foundation
Dimple Abichandani, Executive Director, General Service Foundation
Nichole Maher, President and CEO, Group Health Foundation
