Question for my Family Office friends. If, hypothetically, the head of a multi-generational business-owning family becomes head of a nation is the nation then part of the family enterprise for fee purposes? Could the family office charge modest basis points, or an overall fee, to perpetuate the family dynasty for at least 100 years? Does your answer depend on whether the nation is a republic or, say, a dutchy, monarchy, empire, or vassal state? Son Chau, MPA, CAP® Ben Walter Cassandra Nelson Allen Reece

Allyship is action. Reconciliation is actively doing something that makes a difference, in partnership not just because you think it’s a good idea in isolation. Justice is standing up and doing what is right. Good intentions without genuine commitment and action to rectify what is wrong contributes to the problem. Standing back and doing nothing while communities and people hurt and cry out for help is why we haven’t moved forward to Close the Gap. Keep the Fire Burning is about a legacy. Not hollow words or a t-shirt so that people can feel like they’ve done something when they’ve stood back when they had the chance and often power to act. Keep the Fire Burning is about the future. We can’t do it alone. We need true allies to work with us, walk with us, stand with us. But if there isn’t real change, real action, then will the future be that much different to the past or the present?

As we develop reparative spatial justice strategies that reckon with, repair, and transform the racist foundations of land and housing policies in the United States, we are reminded that it is essential that we decommodify, rematriate, and increase accessibility to land for Indigenous, Black, and POC communities.
