In this article, john a. powell exhorts us to move past inclusion to belonging—the difference being that in belonging, you have the power to cocreate the thing to which you belong. This has huge implications for the way justice work is funded today, including racial justice, which for the most part is done without attention to power, which includes the power to cocreate.
Powell asserts that it is exactly this cocreation that white nationalists reject. But there are many our sector who reject it as well. And he warns, “Our existing institutions and story will not carry us to the future we want.”
For powell, while policy is important, “the essence of the struggle is about who we are,” and funders “should be funding work to help people exercise this muscle.” Imagine spaces into which we can step to engage the challenges of cocreation.—Cyndi Suarez, NPQ’s Editor in Chief
