    Hurricanes Milton and Helene have once again exposed the devastating impact of severe weather on BIPOC communities. From Hurricane Katrina to Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Maria, the same story repeats: systemic racism magnifies the damage. Communities of color bear the brunt of poor infrastructure, underinvestment, and inequitable recovery efforts. It’s time to act. Building a Race Equity Culture? isn't just about dismantling white supremacy – it's about transforming our communities to protect and save lives. ?? Visit https://lnkd.in/eyfjqWEs for organizations and mutual aid funds who need your support now. You will also find resources and information about what folks are currently experiencing on the ground, supply needs, and more. Shoutout to Grantmakers for Southern Progress for this list!

    • Racial Disparities in Hurricane Response and Relief. Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene have brought devastation to the South, leaving thousands without power and access to basic necessities. These storms are the most recent in a long list of natural disasters that have had disparate racial impacts.
    • BIPOC Communities Routinely Bear The Brunt of Severe Weather: Hurricane Katrina (2005) laid bare the stark racial segregation of New Orleans. Of the 7 zip codes with the most flood damage, 4 were at least 75% Black. ? After Hurricane Harvey (2017), Black and Latino households were most devastated by flooding and most applied for FEMA aid that was disproportionately steered to whiter neighborhoods. Hurricane Maria (2017) overwhelmed Puerto Rico’s power grid, leaving millions without power and running water for weeks.
    • Systemic Racism In Public Planning Has Fostered These Disasters: Decades of redlining have segregated BIPOC communities to household and public infrastructure in low lying neighborhoods vulnerable to flooding and severe weather disasters. Chronic underinvestment in the infrastructure of BIPOC neighborhoods has resulted in cheaply made and archaic public utilities. This magnifies severe weather damage-such as poorly constructed levees in New Orleans, a lack of curbs and gutters in Houston, TX, and a decaying power grid in Puerto Rico. BIPOC communities are done further injustice as recovery response and funding prioritizes white lives and communities. In Louisiana, many Black residents reported being passed over by evacuation helicopters. And in Texas, a federal government analysis concluded that the distribution of FEMA funds disproportionately favored whites - but did not order remediation.
    • What Can We Do? Building a Race Equity Culture? is about more than just dismantling white supremacy — it’s about transforming our institutions and communities. Racially equitable organizations reduce disparities, dismantle racist systems, and ultimately help save lives.

    "Using terms like 'peaceful' and 'nonviolent' to describe protests perpetuates the fiction that following restrictive rules and norms laid out by the very systems we seek to dismantle could ever be the correct way to resist." Words have power, especially when it comes to resistance and solidarity! ???? In this article from Truthout, Dean Spade dives deep into how the way we talk about protests, repression, and resistance can either strengthen or weaken our movements for justice. With anti-protest laws on the rise and increasing criminalization of dissent, it’s more crucial than ever to be mindful of the language we use. Too often, we fall into harmful narratives that divide protesters into “good” and “bad,” undermining solidarity and playing into the hands of those seeking to suppress our struggles. This article explores how we can avoid these traps, fight back against repressive systems, and stand united in the face of growing backlash. ?? Read more at https://lnkd.in/eHiPd6-e ??

    "At this crossroads for our nation, when so many of our basic rights are under attack, and the indicators of rising authoritarianism are all around us, philanthropy must do two things to defend the intersectional social movements that are the last best hope to realize our nation’s unfulfilled promise of a multiracial democracy: act boldly and go quickly." This Nonprofit Quarterly article, featured in our latest Racial Equity Tools newsletter, exposes the DOJ’s investigation into the Phoenix Police Department, revealing shocking patterns of racial profiling, excessive force, and retaliation against protestors. The article breaks down how law enforcement and elected officials are weaponizing power to silence social movements and political opposition. ? Defending our multiracial democracy requires urgent action. Philanthropy must act boldly and move quickly to support those on the frontlines.

    The June 2024 Racial Equity Tools Newsletter: Centering Our Students in the Fight for Global Justice ?? is now out! "A striking feature of the current protests is their explicit internationalism—their refusal to treat foreign matters as disconnected from domestic injustices. Such internationalism recognizes the shaping role of American global primacy both at home and abroad, and the reality that meaningful internal change cannot occur without comparable external shifts." ~ Aziz Rana, in Reviving the Language of Empire, Jewish Currents Dive into 172 new #Resources covering fundamentals, planning, action, and evaluation to advance your #RacialEquity and #RacialJustice journey. Please share and spread the word! ?? https://lnkd.in/eY6XvXsS
