Companies are interested in hiring more first-generation college students and talent of color than ever before\, and there is a clear opportunity to continue investment after they have entered the workforce\, creating environments where entry-level employees are able to progress and thrive in their roles. We are in an opportune moment to accelerate progress with the current focus on increasing protections for DEIB programs.  \nThe vision of a diverse\, thriving\, and equitable workforce will only be realized if talent of color and first generation college students have the resources and support they need not only to secure employment\, but to retain and progress within their roles.  \nJoin us for a conversation on how to prepare institutions to be ready for a new labor market with a focus on DEIB. \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 Featured Participants\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Opportunity Network has created an initiative called Opportunity Ignited\, through which they work with employers to learn\, design\, and build inclusive workplaces that will retain talent of color and center DEIB throughout the hiring and career development process. \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.

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.

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.
