The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America
By Khalil Gibran Muhammad Lynch mobs, chain gangs, and popular views of black southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow South are well known. We know less about the role of the urban North in shaping views of race and crime in American society. Following the 1890 census, the first to measure the generation of African Americans born after slavery, crime statistics, new migration and immigration trends, and symbolic references to America as the promised land of opportunity were woven into a cautionary tale about the exceptional threat black people posed to modern urban...

Webinar Recap: Why Should Social Justice Funders Care About Impact Investing?
Funders who have long provided grants to seed social change efforts are becoming interested in fundamental shifts in traditional corporate accountability and disinvestment strategies to consider developing strategies for more values aligned and socially impactful investment alongside grantmaking. These strategies have the potential to help the philanthropic sector invest at scale to change the economy regionally and contribute towards community renewal, power building, and seeding systemic change.

From Protest to Power is a convening hosted by the Ford Foundation and the Solidaire Network on February 26, 2016. We live in a political era defined by crisis, but also great promise. The effects of climate change, economic inequality, and racial injustice threaten our future. Yet in the face of these challenges, there’s a vibrant, visible resurgence of popular movements, of communities rising up against entrenched economic and political power. And it’s working. Four years after the start of the...

Recapping the Strategy in Action Learning Tour: Equitable Revitalization and Regional Power-Building in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh is a “blue city," where nearly 80% of the population voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. The city’s economy is booming, but gentrification is rapidly displacing low-income families of color from hot areas of the city while other neighborhoods have not seen any investment in decades.
Local anchor institutions, community organizations, labor unions, and foundations like The Heinz Endowments are playing a critical role in investing in people and community development to build an economy that includes jobs that sustain...

Webinar Resources from Hope in the Heartland: Racial Justice and the White Working Class
The current debates within progressive circles about the importance of “winning over” the white working class often fail to directly address the need for honest conversations about race, racism and xenophobia. It is tempting for many political strategists and funders to think that we can find and fund a short cut—better candidates, better field canvassing, better television ads, better framing etc... And, that these solutions will influence white, working class voters to (re)align with progressive candidates and causes.
These interventions are doomed from the start because they...
