Solidaire Board co-chair Bia Vieira of Women’s Foundation California & Michelle Wilson of Women Engaged: “By funding the groups doing this grassroots work…philanthropy would actively help hold the line on democracy and protect the rights of all marginalized U.S. residents.” ncg.org/news/changin...
For all of the calls to 'protect democracy' over the past year, we have seen that an alarming number of funders and individual donors prefer to: Assess risk. Do strategic planning. Protect themselves. Wait it out. These are strategies of privilege, of luxury, of being cushioned from what is happening on the ground.
