Race + Power Weekly

This Race + Power newsletter continues NPQ’s recent focus on backing and resourcing Black-led organizing. Cyndi Suarez reports on the emergence of Black funds—philanthropic vehicles controlled by Black communities. Then we offer two pieces from our series with the Protect Dissent Network. First, writing from St. Louis two years after the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, Jamala Rogers discusses how Black communities are organizing to protect everyone’s democratic rights amid an onslaught of anti-protest laws. Next, Camille Bennett on the toll this legislative backlash takes and how the sector can support Black organizers. Finally, from the archive in 2020, Will Cordery’s impassioned call to philanthropy to resource Black-led movements for racial justice.
