At a minimum\, they must provide employees with the opportunity to cast their vote on Election Day without penalty. But the ceiling for what companies can do to promote civic participation is considerably higher. \nSo what are the most effective ways to increase employee participation in voting\, poll working\, community organizing\, and more? How can you help employees access information that will help them to participate productively and respectfully in civic life? And what can you do to support employees in managing workplace political dialogue when it inevitably happens? Based on new NationSwell research\, join us for a small-group workshop to learn directly from your peers about opportunities to increase and facilitate employee civic participation during the 2024 Presidential election cycle. \nThis workshop follows Chatham House Rule\, ensuring that participants can freely exchange ideas without attribution.

As we navigate the complex landscape of economic development\, it’s evident that affordable housing represents just one component of wealth building to establish sustainable prosperity. Workforce development\, small business support\, and educational access are also among the myriad of avenues through which wealth creation and social equity can be cultivated. As we explore the intersections of equity\, our goal is to uncover additional pathways that enhance economic mobility and empower communities to thrive\, thus fostering a landscape of inclusive prosperity. \nJoin us for this insightful conversation hosted by FUSE\,  in partnership with NationSwell\, featuring special guest Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas. Cities are increasingly at the vanguard of narrowing wealth gaps. Mayor Lucas is a leader in breaking cycles of poverty\, building wealth in communities of color\, and strengthening Kansas City’s economy to build healthier neighborhoods. Together\, we’ll exchange perspectives\, share insights\, and explore the meaning of exclusive economic growth. From dissecting the challenges to uncovering opportunities in wealth accumulation\, we’ll examine the vital role of public-private partnerships for a more equitable future. \n  \n\n  \nOur world is marked by constant social\, political\, economic\, and environmental shifts\, and it is up to us to come together to envision better possibilities for our communities. Join us for insightful cross-sector conversations where we explore opportunities to reimagine the fabric of our neighborhoods\, cities\, and towns to not just be resilient and adaptive to current and future challenges but to actually thrive in the face of these obstacles.

Those histories are supported by the stories of the lives lost that begin each chapter\, told through the words of their mothers and sisters — grounding the tragedies in the lived experience of the survivors and providing insight into how police violence has shaped their lives and communities. \nThrough the lens of intersectionality — the analysis of how gender\, class\, and disability compound the racism and violence that communities of color face — Crenshaw seeks to shed light on the interlocking systems of power and privilege that give rise to state-sanctioned violence and mobilize narrative storytelling in service of protecting Black women. \nJoin us on Friday\, May 10th in New York City for a conversation between Professor Crenshaw\, Dr. Carmen Rojas\, President & CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation\, and Ms. Rhanda Dormeus — whose daughter\, Korryn Gaines\, was killed by police in 2016. Together\, we’ll learn how we can incorporate an intersectional approach in our own work for justice — and how we can best lend our own voices in service of naming and ameliorating the violence that harms Black women and girls. \n“If you say the name\, you’re prompted to learn the story\, and if you know the story\, then you have a broader sense of all the ways Black bodies are made vulnerable to police violence.” — Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Carmen Rojas\nPresident and CEO \nMarguerite Casey Foundation \nModerator \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw\nCo-founder and Executive Director of AAPF and Faculty Director of the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies \nIsidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and the Promise Institute Chair on Human Rights at UCLA Law School \nPanelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Valarie Carey\nMember\, #SayHerName Mothers Network \nPanelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kim Yancey\nArtivist \nPanelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rhanda Dormeus\nMember\, Coalition of Concerned Mothers and #SayHerName Mothers Network \nPanelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Abby Dobson\nArtist in Residence\, African American Policy Forum \nPanelist \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n The Altman Building135 W 18th StreetNew York\, NY 10011 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AGENDA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn more about MCF Book Club\n \n \n \n \n \n Once a month the MCF Book Club shares the ideas of leaders who encourage us to imagine how we can radically transform our democracy\, economy\, and society.

Harboring radically different politics\, a comparable digital footprint\, and a shared name\, “Other Naomi’s” beliefs and values seemed to exist at the nexus of the most urgent crises we face. As professional pundits and ordinary people alike continued to confuse the two women\, Klein found herself increasingly questioning her own identity\, her shadow self\, and the uncanny\, post-pandemic reality we all inhabit. \nAs anti-democratic forces amass in plain sight\, the appearance of doubles serves as a warning. In Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World\, Klein discovers that the swirl of anti-vaccine ideology\, climate denialism\, and rising fascism has created a parallel social universe that feels at once familiar and foreign\, and has created political binaries and bifurcations where nuance once lived. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, April 24th\, for a conversation with author Naomi Klein; scholar\, author\, activist\, and 2020 MCF Freedom Scholar Dr. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor; filmmaker\, writer\, and activist Astra Taylor; and Dr. Carmen Rojas\, President & CEO of Marguerite Casey Foundation\, as we attempt to make sense of this parallel social universe and chart a path toward shared purpose and power. \n\nLearn more about the NationSwell x MCF Book Club here.\n\n// \nThis event is part of the MCF Book Club: Reading for a Liberated Future series.

Research shows that frontline\, low-wage\, and gig workers are often disproportionately left out of benefits that full-time or part-time workers receive\, including childcare benefits. We are on a mission to change this\, and provide pathways for every employer – whether small or large – to play a critical role in helping families meet their basic needs\, and understand the impact of childcare on their business models. This session will center the voices of employers of frontline workers\, revealing the bright spots & challenges that they face when supporting these working families. \nFor context: The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have had profound implications for women in the workforce – over 2 million women have still not returned to the workplace\, many due to the lack of affordable and accessible childcare. The implications of this social and economic issue highlight: (1) the US has a broken care system that has disproportionately affected working families\, especially BIPOC women\, and frontline or deskless workers (2) women\, in particular\, mothers\, tend to bear the brunt of unpaid caregiving responsibilities\, and (3) the economic consequences of this workforce exodus not only affects families and individual households\, but business growth and the U.S. economy suffer overall\, too.  \nIn partnership with American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact\, the Annie E. Casey Foundation\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Pivotal Ventures\, and Working for Women\,  the Case for Childcare Collaborative  is committed to explore the business case for supporting working families\, the childcare economy\, and early childhood education. We concluded Phase 1 of our work\, launching a site that shows employers the business benefits of supporting childcare.  In this session\, we officially launch Phase 2 and aim to identify tangible policies & practices employers can implement to further support frontline workers who are parents.  \n  \nThis is the first event in a series.

As we begin a new year\, the time is right for us to reflect on what’s needed to act with urgency and conviction. \n2024 will bring parallel challenges and opportunities for corporate sustainability programs and their leaders. New reporting regulations are in effect or will soon be\, global efforts to increase focus on biodiversity and nature-related climate impacts are underway\, scrutiny of carbon markets and their role in net zero commitments is reaching new heights\, AI is promising novel solutions at the same time it carries certain risks to our progress\, and the need for community-centered approaches to adaptation and resilience is likely to become even more acute as climate impacts mount. \nJoin us at this virtual Leader Roundtable for a forward-looking discussion about the year ahead for climate and sustainability work. Together we’ll surface the most pressing questions\, trends\, needs\, and opportunities on the horizon for 2024 and engage one another in a discussion about the most impactful ways this community can drive progress in the months ahead. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

We are well past the point of diagnosing these inbound threats — now is the time for solutions\, and we’ve heard from members that you’re very keen to engage.  \nThere is great work already being done on the ground to safeguard our institutions and democratic norms: grassroots efforts to support free and fair voting\, campaigns to reduce partisan animosity\, and programs dedicated to fortifying internet access for communities in need. But more work is needed — particularly ahead of a high-stakes election year that holds great potential to divide us anew.  \nTo that end\, please join us for a special pop-up event where we’ll discuss what to expect in the upcoming 2024 election and how we can better prepare ourselves to face these renewed threats to democracy. This will be the first in a series of events we’ll hold as we look ahead to and anticipate the political events 2024 has in store. \nTogether with Ian Bassin — a co-founder and the executive director of Protect Democracy and a former associate White House counsel — and a fantastic group of experts\, we’ll hear from those on the forefront of what’s already happening; explore the solutions that are already working; examine the persistent pain points; and discuss how we can best show up in the spirit of openness\, compassion\, and diligence a thriving democracy requires. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.
