Beyond Racial Backlash: The Role of Funders, Intermediaries, and Practitioners in Forging Ahead Together

Date: Jul 31, 2024, 01:00 PM EST

It's no secret that there is mounting opposition to policies, laws, and practices that seek to address racial harm. However, what is less clear is the role various actors in our sector play in responding to the backlash while keeping an eye on a more equitable future. What challenges are practitioners facing? How are funders meeting the moment? What power dynamics are intermediaries navigating? Earlier this year, Dalberg and Common Future hosted roundtable discussions with funders, intermediaries, and practitioners to explore these questions and more. After months of discussion and reflection they've unearthed insights that paint a picture of what we're up against and how each of us needs to show up.
