Grant-making with an Intersectional Lens

11:00am - 12:30pm
Webinar
The current economic system and laws were not designed for Black people, indigenous peoples, people of color, women, people who identify as LGBTQI, and migrants to thrive. As we consider the implications of this economic system, and philanthropy as a sector within that system, what will it take to truly integrate a historical and intersectional analysis in our grant-making of the economic policies that have led to systemic poverty, structural racism, and patriarchy in order to resource the movement to shift power and seed change? Over the last few years, Funders for a Just Economy (FJE) has...

Strategies to Address How Amazon’s HQ2 Will Impact Workers and Local Economies

Event type: 
Webinar
Wednesday, November 29, 2017
Webinar
While tax and other incentives are often used to attract corporations to cities, there is little evidence that these mechanisms improve employment rates and spur economic growth. In fact, these public policies can advance a concentration of power and a monopolization of the market. These then drive geographic and racial inequality and force local communities to bear the brunt of revenue loss without reaping the benefits. The frenzy surrounding Amazon’s new headquarters’ bidding process sheds light on how corporate incentives are used for more profit under the guise of economic development...
