This week’s Leadership newsletter offers different forms for understanding the importance of enacting valued-aligned systems for holistic, collective transformation. One article covers the need for values-aligned policies at philanthropic institutions, especially now, when an increase in extremism and hate crimes can often be traced to organized groups. Yet, foundations have not implemented anti-hate policies across the board. We also explore how a surge in funding for BIPOC-led environmental justice groups appears to be more publicity-based than values-based—and why this must change. Another piece invites us to envision what a values-based economy could accomplish by restructuring systems to invest in collective healing and well-being. Finally, we uplift a call for investment in holistic solutions that address the systemic roots of incarceration—especially racism, gender-based violence, and poverty.
