This week’s Leadership newsletter examines the broken systems we must move beyond. First, as movements imagine new worlds, it’s important to name the things we leave behind to start healing from past traumas. Then, in his new book, Confronting the Racist Legacy of the American Child Welfare System, professor and activist Alan Dettlaff argues that the US child welfare system is inextricably tied to its racist past, from slavery to the modern day—and must be abolished. Next, as a companion to the article, a conversation with Alan Dettlaff about the new book, the US child welfare system, and a vision for a system that protects children without breaking apart families. Finally, do you ever struggle to navigate the power and responsibility that comes with being a manager? Join Jakada Imani and Monna Wong of The Management Center live on October 26 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm (ET) for an essential review of strategies and techniques for effective management in a social change context.
