Moving from Oppression to Abundance: Shifting our Relationship to Money and Power with Liberation in A Generation
The relationships between money, power, and inequity are visible in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. LSC has expanded our analysis of these dynamics from the macro level to the micro level as we implement curricular elements that incorporate reflection of how an individual’s relationship to money and power can impact their leadership.
We are pleased to partner with Liberation in a Generation for this event. Liberation in a Generation works to dismantle the existing oppression economy, along with the systems, institutions, and the laws that uphold it, and to build a liberation economy. Join us to learn more about their work supporting movements by focusing on racial equity within our economic systems and gain some internal organizational practices that you can start implementing at your organization today.

About Liberation in a Generation:
Liberation in a Generation works to dismantle the existing oppression economy, along with the systems, institutions, and the laws that uphold it, and to build a liberation economy. Ultimately, this is how we show up in the world: calling out structural exclusion and working to build the power of people of color to totally transform the economy. And at our core, it’s people—on the ground and across the progressive movement—who define not only what we do but also how we do it. Learn more
