10 minutes in at @socinnovation #SIS2022 and first reference to #healthequity. Are we going to talk about #systemschange? Is that the new #win from the #COVID19 pandemic?
It’s happening! First in person conference! @MassService @CommonImpact #volunteering #civicengagement

"One of the ways that we change conversations for #equity is to make room for everyone to fail. We're going to fail a lot if we try new stuff - some things are going to work and some aren't. But that allows for #innovation and more collaborative work." - @elizabethroot #22NTC
"It's only we unlock all the tools #philanthropy and the private sector have to offer - resources, policy, and more - that we can create transformative change in our communities." - Julian Posada, @LiftUpChi #22NTC

.@tanyamel really appreciated your article @voxdotcom on #abortion in television. There's an important show you left out @TheCW Everwood had an #abortion plotline in 2001. It was a powerful example of #faith and a commitment to #equality. If you haven't seen it - check it out
Excited to talk with folx about how capacity building means what comes next for #nonprofits #probono
