Leadership Weekly

This week’s Leadership newsletter offers a set of value-driven systems for achieving social impact at the community level and beyond. Our first feature details how community and institutional powers—so often at odds with each other’s aims and tactics—can work together to enact lasting change. A prominent climate justice leader, Dr. Dorceta E. Taylor discusses how climate movement leaders must understand the racist history of environmentalism to build justice-oriented organizations that create a better world for all. We then examine how nonprofit leaders can learn from and use platforms towards ends we tend not to associate with tech startups: community ownership, collective governance, transparent leadership, and non-extractive investment practices. Finally, we turn a visionary yet pragmatic guide to forms of participatory grantmaking and why these practices are crucial for missions of social change.
