Vi Nguyen @digmydiaspora of @VancouverFdn @level_vf starts the afternoon session - Daylighting. Introduces Dorla Tune @DorlaT17 facilitator of pre-summit session "Shifting Structures in Black Philanthrophy", and Djaka Blais-Amare @juzzcurious of @CalgFoundation #REJPFS

Kris as moderator asks the panelists Grace Lee Bogg's quote/question: "What time is it on the clock of the world?" @PauletteSenior1: Now is the time. The need for patience needs to be done with. Act now, no more studies. Utilize our power to look internally what actions to take.

An important distinction between Racial Equity and Racial Justice from @RJGrantmakers #REJPFS

This #REJPFS Summit is centering IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour) voices - this can be uncomfortable when we are so used to hearing and centering white voices. Challenge Others is not to be the devil’s advocate. It is about challenging yourself in your own views.

@4rsYouth Adding this to the reading list for lunch. Thank you for sharing.

This article is super relevant to the conversations today at #REJPFS. Connecting and contextualizing White settler philanthropy and the accumulation of wealth, to the history of colonization and slavery on Turtle Island is super important!

re: COVID-19. Many say that it is Unprecedented Times but it is actually not unprecedented at all. It has happened with smallpox in Indigenous communities. There is a lot of wisdom in Indigenous, Black, and people colour on how to move through difficult times. #REJPFS

Chief Janice George opening and welcoming us to the unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Our gratitude to you, Chief Janice George. #REJPFS

This is not Naomi's, nor any other BIPOC's job to educate you.

.@CBCGloria so appalled at the inappropriate comments that you made to Naomi Grace yesterday. This is textbook white privilege to attempt to frame a Black woman as uncooperative to assist you, a white woman, in anti-racist, anti-white education.
