Invisible Hand

What a day. What a room. What a celebration. Yesterday, in honor of International Women’s Day, we teamed up with DVF (Diane von Furstenberg), YouTube, and JPMorganChase to bring together some of the sharpest women who are making waves. Ms. Tina Knowles, Sophia Bush, Aurora James, Ashlyn Harris, Rashida Jones, Leymah Gbowee, Jackie Aina, and more took the stage for InCharge Conversations, sharing their wisdom on leadership, taking risks, and how women are showing up and moving the world forward, right now—with strength, heart, and the undeniable power of kindness. This is what happens when women take the mic—when we lead, build, and shift power on our own terms. Here’s to women everywhere making the world move—yesterday, today, and always. Happy #InternationalWomensDay #DVFIWD #DVFWomenInCharge

Friends, as Dr. King and so many freedom fighters taught us, we all have a part to play in making this world better—and when we show up, incredible things happen. Here’s to the work. Here’s to the dream. Happy MLK Day.

This just in: Paramount's annual ESG report is out! Major props to Crystal Barnes, Adam Robinson, and the whole team for the beautiful and so important work of propelling the world forward. We're so proud to have a hand in it. Earlier this year, we collaborated with Paramount, Tribal Minds, Inc., and Indigenous artists and creators to bring Murals for Change to life. This so very powerful activation brought Indigenous voices front and center, delivering their messages to Las Vegas right in time for Super Bowl LVIII. This effort was about culture-bearers, respect and beauty, and a timely reminder that “what’s good for the fish is good for the people.” Friends, as the work continues, may we always celebrate the stories and the amazing people we get to tell them with.?

For the love of a good match ?? When great partners come together, amazing things happen. Big shoutout to our friends and allies at Tinder and Vote.org making waves for voters this year and getting people excited to get to the polls! Tap in → Vote.org

Eight years ago, our founder Genevieve Roth was campaign staffing her first DNC—clocking 30,000 steps a day and making sure big moments happened with legends like John Lewis and Yara Shahidi. Fast forward to this year, where we had the absolute thrill of seeing Invisible Hand clients and friends not just show up—but light up the city–and the main stage! Though much has changed in eight years, the core of what we do remains the same—purposeful, grounded in values, and really, really fun. Here’s a taste of y’all doing the darn thing for Democracy: Reproductive Freedom for All: President Mini Timmaraju took the stage to say it loud—when abortion is on the ballot, WE WIN. XQ Institute: Co-Founder and CEO Russlynn Ali teamed up with The American Federation of Teachers to stir up some GOOD TROUBLE for America’s youth and economy. National Women's Law Center: CEO and President Fatima Goss Graves spotlighted critical issue, from the Care Economy to Reproductive Freedom. Climate Power: With nearly 40% of voters prioritizing climate, Climate Power showed Chicago that Climate Voters Go All In. Equis Research: Equis brought Latino power and influence to the DNC stage (what’s up, Eva Longoria!) and all over town. Define American: Founder of Define American, Jose Antonio Vargas joined Carri Twigg and Brad Jenkins for a live taping of newly launched Twiggs and Jenkins to discuss the stakes this year. Vote.org: And of course, we always rep the Vote.org merch! This remains among the most consequential elections of our lifetime. Less than 70 days to go, and it’s all gas, no brakes. Looking to get in the mix? Give us a ring.

Today, The Archewell Foundation launches The Parents’ Network and the #NoChildLosttoSocialMedia campaign. Invisible Hand has been behind the scenes on this work for years, and it’s surreal and special to see it come to life. Built in collaboration with The Dinner Party and the Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS), The Parents' Network is a sanctuary and resource for parents and caregivers navigating the complex world of Social Media. It’s a space for support, deep connection, and the consolidation of community power that will be needed as we work to forge a safer internet for our kids. Join us in spreading the word and helping to build a world with #NoChildLosttoSocialMedia https://lnkd.in/es6NJksP

I am always proud of the work we do on A Day of Unreasonable Conversation, our annual gathering for 600 or so television content creators who are "writing the script for the world." But, I am especially proud this year, and not just because of the incredible speakers and conversations that will grace the stage, but because it was built in true collaboration with the most talented, kind, creative and committed professionals at Propper Daley, directly alongside our partners, co-builders, and co-dreamers at Invisible Hand. And, this year was even more sweet because we got to do it with our clients, dear friends and partners-in-everything-always, Simpson Street. And finally, who should be so lucky as to have funders who are not just collaborators, but cheerleaders, mentors and doers. Thank you William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Just Trust, Omidyar Network, Quadrivium Foundation, Walton Family Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Moriah Fund, Imaginable Futures, Luminate, Springbank, Partners in Kind Productions and SHOWTIME/MTVE for your true partnership. And that, my friends, is why I cannot wait for Monday!!
