Advancing Well-Being by Transcending the Barriers of Whiteness Fireside Chat
PolicyLink and Well Being Trust recently released a new resource, Advancing Well-Being by Transcending the Barriers of Whiteness, as an impetus for deep nationwide dialogue and critical policy change in this moment of racial reckoning on long-standing injustice and national polarization. Join the leaders of PolicyLink and Well Being Trust, Michael McAfee and Tyler Norris, as they engage in a deeply honest fireside chat moderated by co-author Victor Rubin of PolicyLink. These leaders share a commitment to the type of dialogue that highlights our interdependence and is a catalyst for much-needed policy change. The conversation will also feature personal stories to highlight strategies to de-center
whiteness, as well as insight from the report’s companion piece, a Community Dialogue Guide.

Follow the Money: A Teach-in on How Federal Funding Flows
As we dream and scheme about how to redress harms caused by the 1994 Crime Bill, it is important to understand how money flows from the federal government to states and localities. How are different amounts of money allocated? Who decides what programs and offices will be funded? When and where can residents, organizers, and advocates intervene in this process to help stop funding harmful programs and make sure funds are invested in safety? Join People’s Coalition for Safety and Freedom for our teach-in on how federal funding flows and get answers to these questions and more.
