** Weekly Reads
------------------------------------------------------------

“Why is it so important to capitalize ‘Black’ [...] Correcting language may seem performative, a distraction from making real policy changes that impact Black Americans. But two things can exist at once: We can fight for a more racially just America and fight for a more inclusive, racially aware language.” [more] ([link removed])
– Brittany Wong, HuffPost

“The way we talk about risk as a concept in philanthropy really needs to be reconsidered. In my opinion, it is coded with lots of white supremacy around who is worthy of investment. Who can we trust? It's a conversation about trust, which we code as risk.” [more] ([link removed])
– Takema Robinson, Greater New Orleans Funders Network, in The Chronicle of Philanthropy

“The political agendas of ... philanthropic advocacy organizations have focused for too long on the wrong end of tax policy [...] circumvent[ing] the most important issue: how our existing tax structure enables unjust accumulation by the already wealthy.” [more] ([link removed])
– Lucy Bernholtz, Stanford University’s Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, in The Chronicle of Philanthropy
