This week we focus on rebuilding and the need to take chances to achieve that goal. Our lead story calls on foundations to take a chance—don’t just dabble in participatory grantmaking; cede power to frontline groups across the board. We also feature a story about a fashion designer who is developing a business model that aims to support living wage textile jobs in the Black Belt community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. We highlight two journalists of color who are starting news businesses despite a down market while redefining what journalism means. Lastly, we feature a video that emphasizes the long-term bet that lies at the heart of community-building work.
