Also read this

I've written a five-part series for the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Parts 1 -3 are posted as of today and can be found here:

Part One: Confronting Uncomfortable Truths

Part Two: Current Economic Crisis

Part Three: Dismantle toxic tax policies

Four and Five are coming in next few weeks. On October 1 there will be a video call you can join to discuss the ideas discussed. Information on that is available from the Chronicle.

You should also read, watch, and follow

This series draws from (and, I hope, builds on) the work of many activists, writers, filmmakers, and scholars. Many sources are hyperlinked in the series. Because there are no footnotes, I’ve created this list to help you find some of the people whose work goes before me.  Check my Twitter feed to see who I follow. I use the like button as a bookmark for people/things to learn about (though not always – no guarantees).
