It’s a hard time for Jewish organizations. There are thousands of Jewish nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada, with tens of thousands of employees and board members. The good these organizations are doing every day cannot possibly be measured. And the reason Leading Edge exists is this: How effective those Jewish organizations are depends on the people — leaders, board members, and employees — who are the field. Read our new report on the State of the Jewish Workplace 2023: #JewishWorkplace

Restorative justice is an important pathway to healing. Please check out my blog below to learn more.
This is #LockedinSolidarity week, and Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) asked our CEO, Jamila Hodge, contribute a piece on restorative justice. This is just a part of what she had to say, so please read on: "90% of restorative justice participants report being satisfied by the process. That number far eclipses the satisfaction of those who relied on the criminal justice system" https://lnkd.in/eAEBFnCK

"For Black women leaders and those of us deeply committed to racial equity, it can be frustrating to see that what felt like long-overdue true support was actually performative, or at least not nearly strong enough to turn the tide. However, this moment is bringing out the true allies and partners willing to cede power toward efforts led by Black women. Expansive leadership is defined by brave relationship building while setting community agreements to cocreate the conditions that thread the needle of trust. It is about figuring out how to move together — frailties, flaws, and all — to courageously create change." At The Moriah Group, we are all about authentic partnerships where we help funders to understand that communities of color are best equipped to develop and direct their own visions for thriving.

In many congregations, there is an implicit understanding that clergy are called to serve their faith community with dedication, passion, and tireless energy. However, this noble calling often comes with a set of unrealistic expectations that make it difficult for clergy to thrive, both personally and professionally. From inadequate compensation to overwhelming demands on their time, clergy are frequently placed in positions where they are expected to give far more than is reasonable, often at the expense of their own well-being. Let’s take a closer look at some of these expectations and how they impact clergy and the congregations they serve. https://lnkd.in/gEFcu8-D

Excerpt: “In a city like Evanston, racism comes with a smile and a nod, masked behind progressive facades. But scratch the surface, and you'll find a small group pulling strings, dictating who falls in line and who faces consequences for questioning the status quo. My journey in advocating for direct cash payments as reparations has revealed uncomfortable truths about power dynamics and the lengths some will go to maintain control. Join me in uncovering the complexities of our city and why community engagement is more crucial than ever.” Excerpt: "I recall a particularly revealing encounter over coffee, where a Caucasian individual chastised me for challenging the status quo on reparations. She invited me to coffee under the guise of a different topic and then she blindsided me! This person, like many others, couldn't fathom why I refused to accept crumbs when my community deserved more than a housing program. She felt I was wrong to push for direct cash payments to be added as an option. She said, “You should just accept whatever you get.” Does anyone know how that felt for me, sitting across the table from THAT? A Caucasian person chastised me that my people should just take whatever they get for their reparations in Evanston. This woman is close friends with a few Black leaders in Evanston and she runs in that 1% of wealth crowd that, many believe, controls our local government. She wasn’t the first to come at me with this scolding. There have been several. They said if it’s good enough for their Black friends who are in leadership then it should be good enough for the rest of Black Evanston. These women didn’t see these conversations as hurtful, racist, and devaluing because these Black leaders are their close friends, so they have been made to feel safe to say and think these things. That’s Evanston racism. It's not people wearing white sheets, burning crosses, and riding around in pick-up trucks in 2024. It comes with a smile, a coffee, and a photo op sometimes."

When my son was in Cub Scouts, and I was with Scouts for Equality, one of the values we both learned was to be prepared. If the last few weeks didn’t show us how important it is to be prepared for changes in the political world, I don’t know what will. When I was in D.C. in late June, colleagues were anxious, despondent. Now there is a feeling of cautious optimism. Here in Chicago, there is excitement as folks prepare for the DNC next week. But we can’t take anything for granted. With 81 days until the election, everyone is laser-focused on the possible outcomes. Yet we shouldn’t just be watching the polls and listening to the pundits. We need to get prepared. In the nonprofit community, of the many lessons from 2016, 2020, and 2022, one of the top is to be prepared - and for several different outcomes. We could have a progressive-leaning federal government, or a very conservative. We could have a divided government. We could have backlash at the state-level with state legislators becoming Project 2025 incubators. We could have the creation of a Blue Wall with progressive governors. Regardless, we do know that whatever outcome there is, it will be contested. At Penchina Partners, we have been discussing with dozens of nonprofit leaders across the country about how to make sure their organization is prepared. Here are the five questions every nonprofit leader should be asking right now: What are the exact scenarios I need to prepare for? Is it just about who wins the Presidential election? Who controls Congress? Your state’s legislature? What if we don’t know who won the election for weeks? What if there is political or other violence? How will each scenario affect the beneficiaries that I serve? What steps do I need to take to effectively support and serve them? What do I tell staff? How will those scenarios affect morale? What types of safe spaces can we create for staff? How can we maintain cultural stability, security, and cohesiveness? How will donors respond? How can I leverage different outcomes? What does this mean for the fate of my programs? How can I be sure we’re seen as a funding priority regardless of who wins? What does this mean for my work with allies and other supporters? In the wake of the 2016 election, people felt a genuine sense of helplessness – and also an urge to take action. How do I reach and engage my larger community to work with them effectively? If you’re unsure about what may happen, and if it would help to have a third-party perspective asking you tough questions and questioning your assumptions, or how to talk through these questions with your board and staff – give us a call. We bring years of work in politics and social justice movements, we’re fluent in how policy is made, and we understand the ins and outs of nonprofit enterprises and how they’re affected by the world around them. There are fewer than 90 days until election day. Be a good scout and be prepared.
