It's no secret that there is mounting opposition to policies, laws, and practices that seek to address racial harm. However, what is less clear is the role various actors in our sector play in responding to the backlash while keeping an eye on a more equitable future. What challenges are practitioners facing? How are funders meeting the moment? What power dynamics are intermediaries navigating?

Earlier this year, Dalberg and Common Future hosted roundtable discussions with funders, intermediaries, and practitioners to explore these questions and more. After months of discussion and reflection they've unearthed insights that paint a picture of what we're up against and how each of us needs to show up.

Join Dalberg and Common Future on July 31st for insights from these conversations and actions we can take in the midst of backlash and beyond. We'll start our webinar with an introduction from Joe Dougherty, Partner at Dalberg, then hear from Common Future co-CEOs Jennifer Njuguna and Jess Yupanqui Feingold on key takeaways from our roundtable discussions.

We'll then move into a conversation with the following panelists moderated by Common Future co-CEO Sandhya Nakhasi: Reggie Shuford, Executive Director, North Carolina Justice Center Cate Fox, Director, AmbitioUS, Center for Cultural Innovation This webinar will be recorded. We hope you'll join us.
