I am thrilled to be at the Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) 15th International Forum, Rising Together. In deep and loving community with feminist activists, allied movements, scholars, funders, and policymakers in all our diversity and humanity to connect, heal, and thrive.  Here are my reflections from this momentous global gathering, a welcomed space in these times where we must embrace liberatory creativity and solidarity.  #genderjustice #collectiveliberation Day 1 – Moving Money, Building Movements Funders Forum Inspiring Highlight: Nearly half of the funding community joined the AWID Forum for the first time with new energy and excitement to connect and collectively strategize to move existing and new resources in more coordinated and collaborative ways. Emerging Question: What are viable pathways and coordinated tactics to collectively resource holistic safety and security for feminist movements across geographies and languages?  Key Re-Learning/Remembering: An intersectional justice lens in philanthropic practice is not about strategies and programming established by layering identities and thematic areas. Instead, it requires interrogating how power operates and manifests differently for people with specific social locations and resourcing in ways that respond to this understanding.  Call to Action: Rethink and reinvent the partnerships required to move more and better resources to sustain the field of gender justice in the near term and for generations to come.  

Investing in JustFund is one way that we can help build a more effective and equitable philanthropy sector – one that can meet nonprofits where they are and ensure that all communities, not just some, are able to thrive. The dream of the common application is real!

More than half the world’s people are voting this year, and tomorrow Americans have their turn.   We are so grateful to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's U.S. Democracy Program grantees, and to our election administrators and poll workers for their tireless efforts to protect the right to vote for every eligible American—and we’re grateful to all the voters exercising that right in this year’s elections.   The Hewlett Foundation is committed to the rule of law and the norms and institutions of democracy, as our President Amber Miller noted in emails to our grantees and staff last week.   And as a nonpartisan philanthropic organization, regardless of election outcomes, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our grantees and our collective work to ensure that people, communities, and the planet flourish.
