We're still buzzing from all the energy and connections we created during MMMC 2025. Over four days, more than 140 new folks, members, movement partners, and organizers came together to unpack, learn, and take action toward a world where we all have enough.
In the Racial Wealth Divide Plenary, we pulled back the curtain on the unequal system shaping our lives. Through the Money Stories workshop, we challenged bootstrap narratives and meritocracy myths while crafting fuller, more honest narratives of wealth accumulation in our families and the world. In our activation spaces like the redistribution booth, campaigns corner, and consulting cafe, we took concrete steps toward our shared vision.
And through so many other workshops, plenaries, spaces, moments, and connection points, we organized, we laughed, we danced, we were deeply vulnerable, and we (re)committed to the work ahead.
But don't just take our word for it, hear reflections from some first-time MMMC attendees!
As a first-time attendee of MMMC, I was so refreshed and excited by the culture of transparency and self-reflection around finances. Too often, as Americans, and especially Americans in the managerial and ruling classes, we are taught that money is something to be kept secret . My family always operated with the assumption that no one else could or should know about our finances. In turn, I grew up thinking that my wealth and the experiences that came with it were something to be hidden and ignored. Despite having a family that stressed the importance of giving and social justice, when it came to our financial resources sharing (or even sharing information) was off the table.
The magic of MMMC was the immediate breaking of that illusion. Not only is there so much value in talking frankly about wealth, I immediately learned how many fellow attendees had been raised with similar taboos. Each talk and group session stressed not only that it is possible to utilize wealth to fund change and justice, but that there is such a strong community that shares my values and would be happy to support me . Personally, I am taking back a newfound willingness to talk frankly about inequity in the United States, my own role in perpetuating it, and what I can do to change the pattern. The community support makes the actual financial moves far less stressful, and I look forward to continuing to use Resource Generation's support in my wealth distribution.

Participating in Making Money Make Change for the first time, I arrived anticipating that I would leave with new frameworks and tools for understanding my individual relationship to financial redistribution. I left with that and more. Beyond moving money individually, the warm community at MMMC imparted to me the importance of being "shoulder to shoulder" in the movement and of having a political home , as M. Adams from Movement for Black Lives shared at the gathering's close. Collective action is powerful and necessary for the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power.
CHAPTER UPDATES
RG Ohio
In October, RG Ohio co-hosted a Movement Strategy Retreat with Ohio Voice to convene donor class folks and movement leaders for a day of relationship building and collective conjunctural analysis. More recently, we facilitated an on-campus workshop for students at Oberlin College, and a couple of our members attended "Vision to Village," an event hosted by our partner organization, Motherful, to announce the results of their Housing Experience Council (which our resource mobilization efforts helped to fund this year). We're excited to keep building off the momentum from these events!
