** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
In this Leadership Weekly newsletter, we turn to leaders and thinkers who—in search of more equitable, democratic outcomes—are scrutinizing systems for failures to support the collective good. Deepa Iyer recounts how, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, philanthropists responded to needs in Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and Sikh communities by investing only in crisis-driven issues—a pattern that systemically prevented them from cultivating lasting growth and collective agency. As Rob Reich notes in last week’s Tiny Spark podcast about how the tech industry fails to promote democratic systems, it is crucial for members of a society “to feel like we have agency in collectively shaping our lives.” Anastasia Tomkin delves into philanthropy’s failure to fund racial justice initiatives despite previous pledges, highlighting the need to critique systems and report results, rather than counting on individual promises and good intentions. Lastly, Steve Dubb reports on new efforts from sector leaders
to innovate systems for funding BIPOC businesses and entrepreneurs.
