Inviting all of you to register for ABFE. A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities' upcoming webinar, "From Ferguson to the Future: Catalyzing Change through Philanthropy and Community Engagement." At #Harambee2024 in St. Louis, we shared space with Michael Brown Sr., Cal Brown, and the #ChosenForChange team to examine the intersection of grassroots organizing, coalition building, and philanthropic investment. We're honored to have them join us again to explore how philanthropy can play a pivotal role in advancing racial and social justice, leveraging the experiences and initiatives of Chosen for Change as a model for repurposing pain to create regional and national impact. A special thanks to DeMarco Davidson, M. Div, of Metropolitan Congreations United, Phillip Agnew of Black Men Build, and Alethea Bonello of Black Voters Matter Fund for helping us steer what I know will be a powerful, purposeful, and emotional exchange.
