Race + Power Weekly

In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we look at the impacts of societal and systemic racism on people of color. We begin with two articles from Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine’s spring 2024 issue—the first on the tropes associated with Black women that show up in the workplace and how to challenge expectations rooted in these tropes; the other about how harmful experiences in unsupportive, toxic workplaces leave women of color leaders depleted, derailing attention from the intended work of creating a more just world for all. Next, a look at the Clean Slate Initiative, whose work to clean the records of formerly incarcerated people had special resonance celebrating April as Second Chance Month. Finally, a short clip from our webinar, “Remaking the Economy: A Policy Vision from the Movement for Black Lives,” about the importance of reparations.
