California Community Foundation’s Post

This is a powerful conversation.

Everyone that knows me knows I’m committed to building sustainable yet affordable living spaces.

Overcoming the historic racial wealth gap that is the legacy of restrictive racial covenants and other lending and land use practices is among the most intractable civil rights challenges of our time. Come learn innovative and practical strategies to address this inequity from these bold community leaders. https://lnkd.in/gkZn4zr7

CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION: ALMOST NO ONE IS INFERIOR IN GEORGIA ANYMORE. DEMOCRACY ALWAYS SECURES RIGHTS.  https://lnkd.in/gk6u-aFs Georgia was established in 1732, with settlement in Savannah in 1733, and was the last of the thirteen colonies to be founded. It has a rich history of the civil rights movement and democracy, led by students, soldiers, and religious leaders. https://lnkd.in/gbN2rZ7F Georgia's demographics are 50.1% Caucasian Americans from Eastern Europe and the Baltic nations. 32.6% African American, 4.4% Asian American, 0.3% American indigenous-Alaskans, 0.1% African Indigenous-Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, and 10.5%. https://lnkd.in/gdnCFuhY Georgia State University's student population is a vibrant mix of cultures and backgrounds. It is 39% African American, 21.4% Caucasian American, 13.9% Asian, 12.5% Latino-American, 4.99% Two or More Races, and 0.0931% American Indigenous Islanders. https://lnkd.in/gbN2rZ7F Georgia offers a diverse range of activities, a growing economy, a diverse community and a relatively low cost of living, making it a great place to call home. However, challenges include traffic congestion, limited healthcare access, and race relations. A republican administration will send it far into segregation, which is growing by the minute. https://lnkd.in/g89Sw9b8 Democracy is not built on a day, and neither is peaceful living. Vote for peace, not hate and more segregation.

📢 Attention, DC community! This DC Emancipation Day, let's honor the spirit of freedom and equality by supporting access to justice for all. As we commemorate this historic day, join us in supporting funding for DC's Access to Justice program, ensuring that every resident can exercise their rights and seek justice. For 18 years, D.C. Access to Justice Commission has been tirelessly working to ensure that low- and moderate-income residents have access to the civil justice system. In D.C., these residents are majority Black and brown individuals. Right now, they need our support more than ever. The Access to Justice Initiative, administered by the D.C. Bar Foundation, provides crucial funding to over 30 community-based organizations each year, offering free legal help to those in need. However, funding cuts have put this essential program at risk. We urge the D.C. Council to restore necessary funding to the Access to Justice Initiative. Civil legal services are not a luxury—they're a necessity for the safety, economic stability, and community health of our district. Let's stand together to ensure that all residents have the access to justice they deserve in our Nation’s capital. Spread the word and support funding for DC's Access to Justice program: https://lnkd.in/daygkneg #AccesstoJustice #AccesstoJusticeCommission #DCEmancipation #DCEmancipationDay #SupportJustice #DCCommunity

Some interesting updates from The Tudor Trust... 'As the summer ends and the staff at Tudor come back together as a team, we are stepping up our plans to launch our new strategy and begin making new grants... The scarcity mindset is plain in many funding and grant-making practices. It means we put the onus on small organisations and groups to justify why they should receive funding. It means they are expected to compete with the very groups they may want to work in partnership with, and it continues in how they report on outcomes defined by the funders’ goals. Tudor alone cannot undo these practices and the mindsets that drive them... It is becoming clearer to us that, as we develop our plans to make a small number of grants this year, we will be doing so in a way that is quite different to how we funded in the past. We will be developing our first grants alongside a continuation of the total transformation of Tudor, and so we will work in careful partnership with the first set of organisations that we invite to apply'

After Richard Rothstein wrote "The Color of Law," a book that details how racial segregation was created intentionally through racist policy choices. These past decisions bears responsibility for today's most serious social and economic problems. People asked-- how can we solve this problem? Richard tapped his daughter Leah, who has extensive experience on housing policy to identify solutions. Join CALRC to hear from Leah and Richard Rothstein about their new book "Just Action" which describes how we can begin to address racial segregation, and provides dozens of strategies local groups can pursue to redress segregation in their own communities. By starting with achievable local victories, we can build a national movement that can remedy our unconstitutional racial landscape. Register for #CALRC Now: https://loom.ly/KqnyqA8

Here The Tudor Trust as we develop our work plan alongside our ongoing transformation, we are publishing a series of blogs to increase our visibility and transparency. This first one is about our approach to racial justice. When applied to systems thinking, and to challenging a scarcity mindset, we want to understand how racial justice could be a lens through which to build thriving communities for the benefit of everyone. https://lnkd.in/eGGHuuvC

To dismantle systems understanding the mechanics of how they were created and sustained is critical. Solutions often come through truth-telling, healing and collective action centered in justice and equity. #fairhousing #housingjustice #publicpolicy #systemschange

The Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® is bringing Richard and Leah Rothstein to Greenville on April 18 to discuss their book “Just Action: The Color of Law” as their 2024 Fair Housing event. Racial segregation characterizes every metropolitan area in the U.S. and bears responsibility for our most serious social and economic problems. We’ve taken no serious steps to desegregate neighborhoods, however, because we are hobbled by a national myth that residential segregation is de facto—the result of private discrimination or personal choices that do not violate constitutional rights. The Color of Law demonstrates, however, that residential segregation was created by racially explicit and unconstitutional government policy. Just Action describes how we can begin to address this, providing dozens of strategies local groups can pursue to redress segregation in their own communities. By starting with achievable local victories, we can build a national movement that can remedy our unconstitutional racial landscape. This event is open to the public and you can register at https://ow.ly/4TZT50QRntA. #greenvillesc #yeahthatgreenville #affordablehousing
