How can evaluators cede power? We can ask the following of ourselves and throughout the process:
Whose perspectives are represented, valued, and centered?
Who is intentionally invited to the table and unintentionally not included?
How are we responding to needs?

With the help of @equitableeval, this month's Tracking Media Impact newsletter explores how evaluation perpetuates inequity (and what funders can do about it). bit.ly/2Q88llK

Equity Mindset = Interrogating the ways an org's strategy and work may be reinforcing systemic inequities. How could our strategy reinforce systemic inequities & what are we willing to do to avoid that? - @BoardSource principles of Purpose-Driven Leadership #INPLLS
Happening tmr 4/7 3-5pm EST
Hear how #eval & #funder colleagues navigated contracts, institutional norms & more to co-create contractual relationships grounded in #powersharing #equity #collaboration.
Applicable to #philanthropy #nonprofit #government, or anyone using eval
Funding and contracting can be THE biggest barriers to centering equity in evaluation. Fixed scopes, narrow questions, insufficient budgets, no transparency, power imbalances... the list goes on.
Virtual event Thurs 3-5pm ET to talk about👆 & more: bit.ly/3iY9n21

The idea of health as being within an "individual" is baked in unecological thinking.
Health is communal.Ask any forest, ocean or meadow. It took a (eugenics) bribe of efficiency,productivity & linear decontextualized outcomes to trade vitality of "we" for the survival of "I".

Data are the building blocks for how people understand, describe, and ultimately influence the health of communities.

The work of racial equity/justice is about confronting power. Giving up power&dismantling our ideas of what works.That takes daily work.And sometimes takes talking about it before we take action to ensure we are not enabling the same harm our systems are designed to do.#NAEH2022
Applications are open for cohort 3 (!!!) of @InstituteNP & @TSNE's DEIBJ certificate program for #socialchange consultants.
Apply by 2/18: tsne.org/deib
The program is valuable for those who:
- are learning about DEIBJ & asking: what is my role in this work?
- been practicing anti-racism work 4 years & wanting new insights through community
- intrigued by both the art and science of systems frameworks in application
- and more
Grateful to have been a part the inaugural cohort and for our expert facilitators @lmholton & Aviva Luz Argote who created a space to scaffold our heart-centered, collective, and experiential learning.
Looking forward to gathering with #eval people in Greater Boston and beyond.
We want to hear from you:
- What does community look like?
- What does community feel like?
- What can you give? What would you like to receive?

Teachers, if you have not been affirming Blackness since the start of the school year, please recognize that your Black History Month lessons about Black oppression are a kind of educational violence many Black children are forced to endure during the month of February. 1/4

So much wisdom here! Working towards equity IS complex. Requires true change in mindset, beliefs & behaviors to disrupt transactional policies, stifling hierarchy, zero-sum thinking,control etc.& move 2 the inclusion of the voices & genius of marginalized people. #accountability

We experience violent microagression when exposed to performative activism/allyship. It happens daily, and it's exhausting.

Most of us have been on both sides of receiving & causing harm.
So, I am called to hold space for myself and with others. Yes, including those who have harmed me. Yes, this compounds my emotional labor and exhaustion.
