John,

It's no secret that there is mounting opposition to policies, laws, and practices that seek to address racial harm. However, what needs to be clarified is the role various actors in our sector play in responding to the backlash while keeping an eye on a more equitable future. What challenges are practitioners facing? How are funders meeting the moment? What power dynamics are intermediaries navigating?

To address these questions and more, we are excited to continue our Redefining Risk webinar series with our partners at Dalberg and a panel of experts in our sector. Find the details below:

What: Common Future Webinar Series
Beyond Racial Backlash: The Role of Funders, Intermediaries, and Practitioners in Forging Ahead Together

When: Wednesday, July 31 
1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT

Where: Zoom link provided upon registration

Earlier this year, Dalberg and Common Future hosted roundtable discussions with funders, intermediaries, and practitioners to explore these questions and more. After months of discussion and reflection, they've unearthed insights that paint a picture of what we're up against and how each of us needs to show up.

Join Dalberg and Common Future on July 31st for insights from these conversations and actions we can take amid backlash and beyond.

Hope to see you there,

—The Common Future Team
