I think the way forward in transforming toxic & dysfunctional structures/institutions in the nonprofit industrial complex will come primarily from the courage of Black women.

To all the people who ever told me to back off on talking about anti-blackness specifically, please check out what’s happening in LA city council right now.

Anti-blackness needs to be addressed in all of our communities. If we don’t call it out specifically, it will never die.

At InsightCCED we work hard & play hard. This is the most intense version of Genie in a Bottle you will ever hear. Jhumpa Bhattacharya,Saadia McConville, Megha Agarwal

Trevor Smith & Jhumpa Bhattacharya discuss the role of #antiBlack narratives in policymaking—and the need to disrupt and change these narratives to achieve #reparations for Black Americans and economic liberation for all bit.ly/3BHgFBN Jhumpa Bhattacharya Trevor Smith

“To build a culture of repair that includes financial redress, we must address how anti-Black narratives prevent us from understanding that healing Black people brings us closer to making the entire country whole.”

Next they’re gonna start handing out “How to Win Friends and Influence People” to poor people in hopes that will end income inequality.

Anything to ignore poverty is a policy choice and a systemic issue, not a personal failing.

InsightCCED's Senior Director Andrea Flynn sums up today's loss: 'I want to live in a world where our policies are shaped by the voices and dreams and desires of women, and particularly those who have been pushed down and shoved aside and silenced.' insightcced.medium.com/the-anguish-of…

While the uses are individual, the end result is clear: The expanded CTC bought women some desperately needed breathing room & freedom. Jhumpa Bhattacharya, Saadia McConville

As a Black person, being ignored, dismissed or chastised by doctors is so normalized that we don't talk about it enough. Thanks Bo-Katan Kryze

Thank you Jhumpa Bhattacharya! We must start naming 'non-profit hoarding' and extractive practices when it comes to racial equity work.

What are we talking about when we talk about myths around poverty? What does narrative work entail? Jhumpa Bhattacharya from InsightCCED expertly breaks it down in this clip from our Quarterly State of the Movement last week.

Congrats Ayesha Rascoe 🎉

We couldn’t be more proud of you, and we’re so grateful that you covered the first #BlackWomenBest congressional report on your first day as Weekend Edition Sunday host!

The increasing interest in addressing the 'racial wealth gap' by corporations & corporate foundations is just another form of black capitalism with the intent of maintaining the status quo, cloaked in racial justice language. Don't believe the hype.

'We are asking child care workers to be superheroes when we expect them to be at the top of their game caring for our children while they are stressed about keeping the lights on and having food on the table for their own families.” Jhumpa Bhattacharya

'The only way to achieve true justice in this country is to understand that racial justice is not inevitable,it is not irrevocable.'

A3 First we must stop blaming workers for inflation and supply chain issues that are fueled by corporate greed & invest in our child care infrastructure & make CTC permanent. #BeyondtheNumbers

'The struggle is forcing America to face all of its interrelated flaws—racism, poverty, militarism and materialism. It reveals systemic rather than superficial flaws & suggests radical reconstruction of society itself is the real issue to be faced.” - MLK theparisreview.org/blog/2018/01/1…

That's the very reason I'm rarely on Twitter.
