Eastern Security Services’ Post

We can talk about the problem, express how and what leads to incarceration, we can call ourselves advocates and scream at the top of our lungs. But the truth is actions speak louder than words. Hit the link if you’re about action and don’t if you’re just talking. Lead by example and not words about things you are not willing to do yourself. https://lnkd.in/gTcMZ87x ChangingLivesForever #SupportTheCause #QualityOfLife #PositiveChange #MakeADifference #Inspiration #TransformativeJourney #HumanityFirst #CriminalJusticeReform #HealingTogether #IncarcerationTransformation #CollectiveImpact #EqualityForAll #Reform #SecondChance #Inclusion #Humanity, #Podcasters, #SanFrancisco, #Government, #News, Michael Vuong, Kenny Robinson, Lester Young, Quil Thomas, Christopher Poulos, Julio Santos, Nathaniel Evens, Seth Steward, Logan McDonnell, Oswald Newbold, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Obama Foundation, David Garlock, The Rockefeller Foundation, Larry Lee, Shawn Wright, Steven Matthew Clark, Dr. Craig Waleed, Aseel Fara, Phillip Alvin Jones, Jon Henry, Prtick Graham, Jay Sutter, Cierra Cobb, Fernando Pujals, Antwan Carter, Levar Burton, Bill Hobbs, Mike Curry, Darius Coleman, Jason C.

This is so important, as a Doctoral researcher there is very little in terms of publication regarding the disparities black employees face in the non for profit sector. Thus, research like this is highly significant to shed light on an emerging knowledge that is at its infancy. #nonprofit #blackemployees #thirdsector

If you’re a leader of a nonprofit it’s likely that you are feeling overwhelmed. So when Suzanne Strassberger and I come to you with a request to make sure the voices of your clients and communities are heard loud and clear in November, we are well aware of how much is already on your plates. But we also believe that our democracy and much of the work you do is at stake this year. In this blog post, we’ve laid out some simple steps you can take as a nonprofit to promote voting. We even give a hat tip to Taylor Swift. Take a look and let us know if we can help. #nonprofits. #democracy #votingrights

"What is critical for donors and funders to know is that because of their flexibility, 501(c)(4)s are a key strategy for Black-led movements. They keep vital community building work going year-round, but often face extreme dry spells in resources outside of tokenism and last-minute flow of resources during election season to turn out Black voters. Might we envision a radical shift where Black-led advocacy groups are on par in their funding with a 501(c)(4) giant like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)?"

Thanks for the opportunity Matthew Schulz to share some tips and tricks through the below article around #advocacy. Great advice from many leaders. Advocacy and systemic change is usually seen over the long term and requires leadership, resilience, patience and perserverance. Worth a read and reflection!

What an eye-opening discussion at the session “Leveling the Playing Field: Equity in Evaluation for Black Non-Profit Organizations” for ABFE 2024. Thank you @Tina Fletcher, @Wiselene Dorceus, @Endaisia Love for sharing your insights and experience.    The conversation centered around evaluating and improving the impact of nonprofit organizations through a more inclusive lens, including the oft-underexplored importance of understanding the cultural context when considering the need for alignment with equitable practices.    Without a frank addressing of these issues, we risk isolating this vibrant and crucial segment of the broader non-profit community.    I hope to see this dialogue continued and would welcome any tips or insights into how anyone reading with experience in this area builds their own playbook for success to support non-profit organizations providing key support to Black communities.    A better future starts with a better understanding of what it means to include.     #NonprofitImpact #InclusiveEvaluation #SupportingBlackCommunities   

In a recent piece titled "10 Major Legal Threats to U.S. Civil Society," the escalating legal hurdles faced by charitable nonprofits as they pursue their missions within communities are brought to light. These challenges manifest in the form of new laws that constrict their activities, heightened enforcement measures, and political assaults. Among these obstacles are governmental efforts to criminalize acts of compassion such as providing food and shelter to migrants and the homeless, extending aid to women in need of healthcare, and facilitating bail for those incarcerated. Additionally, charitable nonprofits find themselves under siege for their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as their advocacy for free speech rights and the preservation of nonprofit nonpartisanship, epitomized by the longstanding Johnson Amendment. 🔗 Read more:
