** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

In today’s Race + Power newsletter, we look at the intersectional dynamics of power-with rather than power-over. First, “passing the mic” can be a useful way to ensure that marginalized voices in an organization are heard. But by itself, it’s not enough to build collective power ([link removed]) .

Next, in a time marked by heightened systemic inequities nationally and globally, societies must look disparity squarely in the eye. To confront political polarization, structural racism, and climate injustice, leaders must start by centering belonging and justice ([link removed]) in their leadership.

Then, Black communities in the US South have experienced a dramatic drop in wealth and quality of life over the last century, due in large part to intentional actions of the White elite. The good news: In cities across the South, Black people are organizing to rebuild cultural institutions and restore Black economies ([link removed]) .

Finally, join us today, February 20, at 2:00 pm ET, for a timely sector briefing where experts will provide advocacy strategies, legal and practical considerations for nonprofit compliance, and tools for mobilizing communities and protecting vulnerable populations. Register here ([link removed]) to equip yourself to defend progress in 2025 and beyond.
