Paul, you have been a calm presence at the helm of @NAYAFam for 6 years (...6 very tough years!). Feeling gratitude for your work and all you've brought to NAYA.

Once again, @highcountrynews published an illuminating, complex story--this time on the legacies of #LeticiaCarson. It's critical reading to understand intersecting and ongoing issues of gender, race, colonialism and land in #Oregon. hcn.org/issues/55.6/hi…

@GreggKoskela Hutton, for sure, made an impact on me. I wrote my college essay on wanting to have dinner with John Maynard Keynes because of him...

I've been reading @StreetRoots for years, but this was the best coverage I've ever seen. It sheds light on a topic few non-Indigenous folks are following and puts it in historical context with deeply researched, nuanced and human coverage. Bravo to @Underscorenews and @Oregonian

Another deep & nuanced profile from @highcountrynews, looking at the stakes for #ICWA. "...every one of those children is not only just a potential voter and a future citizen, but potentially a future leader of our community." hcn.org/articles/indig…

Land & Nature is an impact areas for the #OregonImpactFund at @TheOregonCF. Earlier this year, OCF invested in @efminvest, the first #bcorps certified forest management company. We love supporting natural climate solutions for long-term value and enduring impact. #OccamAdvisors

Geez - wasn't it good enough that Portland broke the record for rain in April?! Ready for sun--or at least a dry weekend

As a new member of #99girlfriends, I'm excited to see the grantmaking process up close. $450,000 will be invested in our community this year! Apps due June 6th More info here: ninetyninegirlfriends.com/application-de… and info sessions on Tues and Wed of this week.

Great essay by Nikhil Bumb @FSGtweets on the deep, personal, inner work necessary to move toward an equitable future. Too many want to skip this part and go to big, splashy external work, but its hollow without the strong core of inner work.

BREAKING: Senate confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson to Supreme Court in historic 53-47 vote. Jackson will become first Black woman on the Supreme Court. nbcnews.to/35OJnTU

@NRamirezArriaga Beautiful photo and love the Meyer onesie!!

My stepdad, John Brockamp, has lived a life of generosity and service. Here's one more example - donating land for affordable housing in Happy Valley. He was so excited to see the project groundbreaking yesterday. kgw.com/article/money/…

Good nonprofit governance means understanding advocacy + lobbying limits --and using them fully to push for policy and systems change. @AFJustice's #advocacy nerds talk through Supreme Court Nom Advocacy. bolderadvocacy.org/2022/02/03/sup…

Successful advocacy takes time to prepare, organize and engage. @ORConsumerJust launched a new grant opportunity to help strengthen capacity for state-level policy & advocacy work around consumer justice in the 2023 and 2024 sessions. Apply by 3/28! oregonconsumerjustice.org/PolicyGrants

Its not too late to join The Skanner Foundation's 36th annual MLK Breakfast. Lo Steele is singing now - "Give Yourself Grace" --AMAZING

@panneoleary15 So true, @panneoleary15

@mp_on_housing @ElisaHarrigan Love that description of @ElisaHarrigan as irrepressible. Perfect!

Also, I think we forgot to celebrate properly: my colleague and friend, the irreplaceable, irrepressible @ElisaHarrigan is on the FT Board now! Congrats Elisa!

I love all of this so much. FT has been a real beacon these last few years and added so much to our work at Meyer. Read the amazing remarks from @AmandaAndere - really worth your time!

This framing of philanthropy--as generosity + trust-- resonates so much with me. mackenzie-scott.medium.com/no-dollar-sign…
