Important read on why philanthropy does not redistribute wealth and how it can perpetuate coloniality. "When the super-rich engage in charity, it has a way of not just scrambling our cognition, but also our humanity. The dollars on the table tempt us into a dangerous ends-justifies-the-means logic in which we focus on the enormous public goods that can be created through private wealth and ignore the known harms caused in its creation, or the antidemocratic power it engenders, or the alternatives at hand—most simply, redistributing billionaire wealth through taxation instead of philanthropy." "Gates’s disregard for the wishes, needs, rights, dignity, intelligence, and talent of the poor people that he claims to be serving speaks to the fundamentally colonial lens through which he executes his charitable empire."

We don’t have to follow the status quo. In fact, enacting meaningful change demands that we don’t. Something new and beautiful waits for us on the other side of this work. #Philanthropy #CommunityInvestment #Community #RestorativeJustice #TransformativeJustice
