We recently witnessed a white supremacist mob violently attack the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overthrow the results of the presidential election. As giving circles continue to work in the shared value of democracy, we must recognize that the call for social justice is urgent — now more than ever. 

Join us on Wednesday, February 3rd at 4PM ET  for the second conversation in this two-part series. In Part I, we heard from activists about what today’s social justice movements look like, what they ask of all of us, both collectively and individually. In this follow up conversation, we will hear from members and leaders of giving circles who are in relationship with social justice movements. 

This virtual event is for anyone in a giving circle, or considering starting one, and who is interested in the following questions:

• How have giving circles been involved in, and supported, social justice movements? 
• What should giving circles know and practice as they seek to get involved in social justice movements?
• For today’s giving circles, what possibilities exist for our greatest contributions and most generative relationships with social justice movements? 

We invite participants to check out the first, grounding Justice, Giving, & Politics Part I webinar session and join us on Wednesday, February 3 for a robust conversation with these inspiring activists:

• Sian Miranda Singh ÓFaoláin, Giving Project Network
• Sarah David Heydemann, Radfund 
• Marsha Morgan, Community Investment Network
• Mario Lugay, Justice Funders and Giving Side

This event is hosted by Philanthropy Together in partnership with the Social Justice Giving Circle Project to build a framework for giving circles that want to do more to uphold social justice values, and to be accountable to social justice movement leaders. More information on how your giving circle can get involved with this new project will be available soon.
