American Rescue Plan: Strategies for Community Co-Design
Monday, May 24, 2021 at 02:00 to 03:00 PM

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) means billions of dollars to states, cities, and counties, with the aim of helping communities recover from the health and economic setbacks of the pandemic. Past experience has taught us that investment decisions are stronger and more effective when they involve community input. Join Census Legacies, Center For Social Innovation at UC Riverside, Independent Sector, Maryland Philanthropy Network, and other philanthropic partners for a conversation exploring how Community Investment Boards can ensure more effective and equitable allocation of American Rescue Plan dollars.

Making it Real: The Link Between Issue Organizing, Ballot Initiatives, and Building Power
Friday, November 01, 2019 at 02:00 to 03:00 PM

When looking at our issue advocacy strategies, how can we strengthen our understanding of evolving concepts like ballot initiatives, organizing, and direct action that together advance this work for the long term?  Join us for a conversation moderated by Julie Fernandes, Rockefeller Family Fund, to help break down those interrelated approaches.  Leaders in the field will share how ballot initiatives are an integral part of issue advocacy, followed by how these measures are implemented in combination with community-driven organizing through ways that lead to increased civic engagement.
