286 organizations received approx. $2.8 billion from #MacKenzieScott - unrestricted, flexible. These organizations can invest it where needed to continue doing the good work, the urgent work. Responsiveness. Equity. Trust. That’s the way. @BridgespanGroup bit.ly/2TzfWPg – at Washington, DC

Ever heard of invisible labor? Trust us, even if you’ve never heard of it, millions of women have experienced it first-hand. Think about: childcare, family logistics, household maintenance, care-giving responsibilities, and more. How much is all of that actually worth?

We are now all waiting for the Chauvin verdict. Pundits are acting as if justice hangs in the balance. It does not. Chauvin is clearly guilty but without systemic change, the conviction of one cop does not equal justice. #verdict @Mvmnt4BlkLives #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Want a stimulus that would really make a difference? Enact universal child care. It would give the average mom an extra $100,000 in lifetime earnings. The number of women working full-time would grow 17%. That sounds like a "family values" plan to me. cnbc.com/2021/04/12/universa…

I learned about this term “doom scrolling” from my boy, Roy. Now, I know sometimes when you fall on tough time it's easy to get lost in the bad. But today I think we should turn it around. How about some #HopeScrolling? I’ll start:
